just upgraded to finalcut 5 and i am in big TROUBLE
I just upgraded to final cut 5 and opend a project up and it all has lines through it they look like ridgies on the edge of all objects.Fast motion is real choppy and some of the new clips that i am trying to drop in are squeezed in from the side some old transisions look choppy also.
Is there help out there i have been working on final cut since version 3 and media 100 before that I have never had such bad luck upgrading beforeThanks for your time

Go into sequence settings and set motion filtering to ‘fastest’. I have found ‘normal’ and ‘best’ to cause these problems. Is this a DV sequence? What IO card?

i dont know what IO card means dv has never looked so bad i need some helpThanks for your time

I’m gathering that you converted a 4.5 project file? When you got the conversion dialog box, did you check the “erase rendered files” option? This seems to be almost required.
We converted the same 4.5 file into 5 using all three methods (normal, best, fastest). They all look the same, because in each case, we had it delete the render files.
A lot of people are reporting diminished video quality and problems with graphics. Remember, Dynamic RT changed things. In our experiment we saw that occur until we rendered. In the past, we would have had to render first, since we had gamma and color correction filters on the clip, as well as a graphic overlay. With Dynamic RT it will play back with pixelated quality so you can continue trimming without having to stop and render. Once you render, it looks fine. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature… which you can disable by switching to High instead of Dynamic. Then it works like the old FCP HD.

I just think for the record it should be said that many of us are having zero issues with FCP5. I have it on three different machines… all with no problems. It’s unfortunate that some people are experiencing problems, but I’m sure there are a great many people out there that are also enjoying FCP5 without issues.
