    This is one of the most-asked questions here, you need to optimize the photos in Photoshop, they should be no more than twice your frame size at 72 DPI and save as tif or targa. It’s true that FCP only sees pixels not DPI, but FCP chokes on large high rez pictures.

    You still may need to add a bit of blur to them or try the flicker filter or both.

    Have a wonderful day.

    Thanks Chris it was one of my close friend had that problem. I found out his real problem is he was animating the photo and then placing a FCP made effect along with the photo, when I found that out I made him use dissolve or make the effect in FCP or Motion from scratch and it work fine thanks.
