Make sure they are FULLY rendered. What color is the bar above them. Did you select render-render full?
Are you viewing on a video monitor?

What are your time line settings?

Marshall,

That’s normal. You know the bright green bar in the timeline – that’s real time Preview, it’s not the full quality. FCP is doing ‘magic’ to play back the still. When you export, it’ll be the quality of when you’re paused.

Best,
