strange horizontal lines appearing on psd files in

[Rafael Amador]

Avoid importing “.psd” files unless you need to work with multilayer stills.
Try with an PNG or TGA better. Always RGB, of course.

FCP does not handle gradiated transparency in PNGs very well. Do a comparison between importing a transparent PNG (say an item with a drop shadow), and the same as a PSD and you’ll see that the PSD is much higher quality.
