Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 graphic importing
This FCP 5.1.4 project has a great many Illustrator graphics and text, and it looks awful and jagged. I haven’t much luck with getting to look good on the final tape. I have tried Motion and After Effects, but there is got to be a work path to create good looking graphics. I can not get the quality to look professional.
I appreciate the help.

Thats your problem, Adding graphics to a DV time line will give you bad results. Switch to a 8Bit timeline.

If I want to output to DV tape when I am completed with the project.
“Switch to a 8Bit timeline”
Which settings is the right one? DV footage will work on a 8bit timeline?
Thanks,
Mark

Dv in a 8b time-line must to be rendered. What zrb123 suggest you to do is to change the codec of your time-line so you can see that what you got is just a problem of the DV codec. Too much compression. Do some tests. Change your time-line to 8b and render a piece of your time-line with graphics to see if its looks better. If so keep on editing in DV (for RT preview) and when you got everything ready, chage the time-line to 8b and export your movie. Then you can transcode again to DV to print to video. It will look better than if you print your time-line rendered in DV. This will also allow you to improve your footage with some CC and chroma-smoothing.
Cheers,
