Green artifacting around edges of text/gfx
I’ve run into this problem sporadically, but today it was terrible.
Often when I import a PSD file into FCP, I get some terrible artifacting that only shows up on my NTSC once I render the gfx and playback. It also happened today when using text directly from the text tool. It rarely, if ever, happens when I bring in TIFF gfx.
I know Final Cut extremely well, and this is a professional, uncompressed setup. We have 3 edit rooms and I have been getting random occurrances of this in all 3 rooms.
Like I said, TIFF format works great…but this should not be happening. Anybody want to chime in?

I have seen some pixels that should not be there with Livetype. No problem with Motion.

Yes! Had quite a few times recently.
I would describe it as dithered green pixels. Around the outside area of a graphic, not hard to the edge, but like a dithered drop shadow of random, airbrushed and spread out green pixels. It only happens after rendering for me. I’m running AJA IO UC 10bit PAL with the latest OS and drivers, etc.etc. Perhaps it’s a colour space issue?
Although, IIRC only ever happens on photoshop files and graphics for third party files.
I have other problems too – when I turn on drop shadow in the motion tab the position of the image for that layer will move up by half a line and soften badly, been playing with field orders to try and fix this, no luck. So I sometimes have to switch to DV50 instead. I need to look at it some more though.

Yeah this was brought up before and I’ve experienced the same problem. It goes away when you render in RGB instead of YUV, which isn’t the best solution, but a solution nonetheless.

Rendering in RGB isn’t the right solution. This is a major issue. I’ve been doing work arounds for quite some time, but it’s finally gotten to the point of madness.
Importing layered PSD files is always a crap shoot now b/c I never know if the artifacting will be present or not.
