It could be a problematic installation. if you did an archive and install, i would say go back and reinstall again.

Regardless of what the footage was shot on, load this in using and AJA or Blackmagic card at an uncompressed codec. This will give you a huge advantage because of the better color space/sampling. Believe it or not, even capturing plain old DV through one of these methods will give you better results… (there is a page somewhere – as well as cowposts that confirm this)
These are your choices for a well done greenscreen comp:
1. Motion is great for a quick start…
2. Get DVMattePro(https://www.dvgarage.com/) for doing your comps in Final Cut…
3. Do the comp in After Effects (the Production Bundle version, since) that comes complete with the KeyLight keying filter.
4. Apple’s Shake
(i found some more helpful things explaining the problem with keying DV footage, and what you can do about it with DVMattePro and Keylight at: https://www.philipwilliams.com/greenscreen.aspx)

What format does the footage come from? How was this footage loaded? And what is its compression?
-
what is your frame rate? what are you outputting to?

I have the same problem. Anyone from AJA know a solution?

This option magically disappeared a number of os/fcp revisions ago. We do a direct Export > Quicktime Movie, then let idvd or dvdsp do the conversion for us.
This field issue seems to be a FCP problem over iDVD or DVDSP, since it is widespread:
There is a thread in the DVDSP forum –

Considered it, and i do have one. Didn’t feel like getting one for every single edit room at this point, considering iDVD is supposed to work.

We also use DVD Studio Pro, but mainly for Reels. IDVD is perfect though for laying off rough cuts fast.

Same here. Happens randomly, and rampantly. iDVD5, QT6, FCP4.5.
THIS IS A BIG F***KING PROBLEM.
I asked a “genius” at the apple store lecturing about iDVD, but he had no idea.De-interlacing has been my quick fix answer
BUT THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION
De-interlacing greatly reduces the video quality -
Now FCP 5 can load 4 channels of audio.
