  Here is a Dynamic RT problem with still images.

  I have noticed that a timeline showing a light green line which used to be fully rendered RT easily played out by FCP is now showing less than desirabe quality compared to rendered portions of the timeline.

  Try this test: Load two high resolution still image (tif, jpeg etc)
  Drop the images into a timeline.(withRT set to high the timeline has a light green line on it)
  Put a motion move on the first image with keyframe A@45 and keyframe B@100 (I was using 1600×1200 jpeg file)
  Place a dissolve between the shots and render only the dissolve.
  Go to the headframe of the dissolve and the arrow back one frame to compare the quality betweent the two. You should notice a vast difference.

  In 4.5HD there would be no distinction between these two frame with the same settings but somehow we last this ability now. FCP 5.0 does not even give you a choice to see the high rez image when stopped on the still frame, which is very useful for picking out detail in high rez still images. This was a major bonus in all previous versions of Final Cut..
