Graphics appear as field stills…
I have some graphics that were placed in a sequence under 4.5, looked fine and now when I view the same sequence under 5.0, they look like field stills, that is, when you playback the sequence, there are still interlace lines, they don’t go away as one would expect during playback. What’s going on here? I’ve checked all my settings, all seems fine. I did notice that there is now a “Motion Quality” setting, I’ve changed that, no improvement.
G5 2k, 10.3.9, FCP 5, AJA IO 2.0 driver.
Any help? Thanks,

Okay, so it was the Motion Filtering Quality…here’s what Dave Simon had to say…
The issue of the jagged edges has been RESOLVED! Whew. It is that damn Render Filter setting in the Video tab of the sequence settings. The funny (read: not funny) thing about that setting is that when you open a project that was done in 4.5 with FCP 5, FCP goes through a conversion process. In that process, it asks you want kind of filter you want to use (Best, Normal or Fastest). Obviously, we want Fastest for two reasons. One: We’ll eliminate problems similar to what I just went through with jagged edges. Two: The conversion dialog box that you are presented with when opening an old seq in 5 actually tells you that the old sequence was done with the Fastest filter! “Yeah, we know you did it this way before, but what about trying something new?” WHAT?

Try setting your field dominance in sequence settings to none. I was having the problem you describe and that fixed it. Some keyframed motion effects still look a little funky although overall things look better.
