Choppy Motion Graphics
Ever since I upgraded to FCP 5 I’ve had difficulty with motion graphics. Any resizing of still images or movement of graphic elements appear choppy/jittery once rendered. This is especially true if I try to composite a Livetype file over a still image. Any ideas…this is killing me.

These jumps occur on all monitors (broadcast and otherwise). This is a new problem since upgrading to FCP 5. I can see these glitches even on the computer screen…not sure it’s a function of a low-res monitor. Been using my setup for 7 years with smooth results until now. And actually…if I play it out in preview mode, it seems to run smoother than when it is rendered or exported.

Two things…
1. Trash your prefs.
2. What Easy Setup are you using and what are your doing exactly?
Once we find out this info, we can help you better.

FCP 5 completely changed the way it renders motion graphics. In the sequence settings you’ll see there are now 3 rendering settings. Try different settings. I know version 5.0 had some pretty big bugs in this area and I still run into it once in awhile. Exactly what you describe. Sometimes the best setting is horrible. Sometimes nesting screws the whole concept off. Usually I just keep everything on the middle setting.

Easy setup for DV-NTSC
Doing basic key framed motion. Mostly slowly growing still images and moving objects across the screen. The problem occurs most when I have a basic text layer or Livetype layer superimposed on top of a still image background that is slowly growing or shrinking. But also occurs with no additional layers superimposed.
