weird text and graphic shifts when editing…
So I have a .psd graphic as a lower third with text from FCP over that. When the scrubber is still the graphic and text is exactly where I placed it. When I play the time line (with everything completely rendered) The two shift up slightly. I exported a test QT to see if it was just a bugging timeline thing but the test QT is the same. I’ve dumped preferences, restarted in Safe Mode and repaired permissions, etc etc.
Anyone know what’s going on?

Yes. When FCP is paused, it shows you a high quality image, when playing back it lowers the resolution to give you smooth playback.
Shane’s Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you’ve rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timelinehttps://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

I am previewing on a NTSC monitor and EVERYTHING is rendered. This is why I have turned to you all. I’m totally stumped. The exported QT is no different I still have text/graphic shifts. I’ve nested the graphic/test lower third with no luck. Could this be a problem with the .psd file. I’ve tried several different .psd files with th same issue though. Weird.

You have to be sure that rt effects are being rendered as well.
Shane, you should make this a stick answer as well.
Go to Sequence > Render All and Sequence > REnder Selection menus and put a check mark next to each option, especially the ‘full’ option. Then hit option-r (to render) the sequence. I bet FCP is displaying your PSD as a real time effect and that effect is not baked into the timeline.
Cheers.

I am aware of all this but isn’t a full render included into the export of a QT? The even weirder thing is that the exported QT has these funky shifts in text.
Thanks for all your input

Did you check those menus? Are those options checked? Did you then render and reexport? How did you export the movie?

beenice, does the aspect ratio for your photoshop file match the aspect ratio of your sequence?
