Use motion, or cross your fingers for a fix in the next version of FCP studio!

There’s a chance this may only have happened because I was in DVCProHD. Again since I believe it’s a programming fluke, it could be as strange and specific as something with my exact codec, frame rate, color depth, number and kind of layers of filtration, any number of things. This is an undocumented situation. If you were to recreate it, it might have to be exactly the same as my situation. Your recreation is still not close to that. What would be interesting is to see if my computer or David’s computer does that same thing with YOUR example above.

Hahah, I totally understand what you mean, I often think HAVING the discretion is better than not having it if it means I have to futz with it a bit.
My project had simply two layers. A white flat background on track 1, and the video of a woman walking on a bluescreen on track 2. Then I set my keying filters on track 2 until they were okay on the white and then I deleted the white video and left the other video on track 2. With just that ONE layer I did the export.
What export method are you using? I never tried animation codec for this, i just used my usual (and I think better) quicktime:none export.

that’s an interesting take.
You need to see the full-res render of the key before you send it to flash so I put a white background under my clip for keying purposes, render it and watch it, and then blow away the background when I’m finished and leave it UNrendered.
I guess the default black background is misleading then. I know you can change it in FCP, but perhaps it should be checkerboarded like photoshop. how annoying would that be? yikes.
…or perhaps in future versions there should be an on/off layer selector in the export window.

wackyness. Glad to see that there are more undocumented flukes that cause people to get confused and write more questioning posts about it. yikes.

Russell,
The field dominance change actually made my text look better in the canvas. Quite a bit less pixelly and the curves on the text were smoother, however the movement is still jerky.
I won’t like rebuilding these text movenents in motion but I think that may be my last best option. I basically have to recreate them there from scratch then which is a bummer.

Thanks for the idea, Unfortunately not.
I tried every combination of motion filtering quality and subpixel use, to no avail.
I should mention this is DVCProHD and listed as 1080i60 in sequence settings, even though the bin says its 30fps
