    Is there an issue with type & feild dominance in FCP 5 ?

    After our Agency upgraded from 4.5 to 5, we are experiencing an awful problem.

    In a nut shell: Sequence setting” Field dominance set to lower (as should be) video looks great. But ANY type generated in fcp or imported from PhotoShop (as tiff or layered) looks chunky, broken-up and ghostly.

    If I switch the Field dominance to “NONE” the type looks great. Sharp and fine. BUT the video then starts to break-up and ghost.

    Didn’t have this problem in 4.5

    Looking at a final product. NTSC Monitor, Burned to DVD, etc.

    Trashed prefs didn’t work

    It is “bitmapping anything that is “still” Type, images etc.

    I always look at my 20″ NTSC monitor

    If I hook up a TV direct (via the dsr-45) bypassing the NTSC, burn a DVD or create a QT file to view on the computer monitor, with the field Dom set to lower as should be, Type (generated from ANY source) and any still images, look very bad. (exporting dv ntsc 48khz)
    Ghosting, chunky, pickleated.

    Again if the Field Dom is set at none type and graphics look as good as anything I
