Same problem here. Go to Seqence menu > Settings > Video tab > Filter: FASTEST (Linear) and reRender. That should fix the problem.

Well everyone – thank you for all of your input! We’re getting there.
The issue of the jagged edges has been RESOLVED! Whew. It is that damn Render Filter setting in the Video tab of the sequence settings. The funny (read: not funny) thing about that setting is that when you open a project that was done in 4.5 with FCP 5, FCP goes through a conversion process. In that process, it asks you want kind of filter you want to use (Best, Normal or Fastest). Obviously, we want Fastest for two reasons. One: We’ll eliminate problems similar to what I just went through with jagged edges. Two: The conversion dialog box that you are presented with when opening an old seq in 5 actually tells you that the old sequence was done with the Fastest filter! “Yeah, we know you did it this way before, but what about trying something new?” WHAT?
New Problem! SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE! My Dual 2 gig machine is stalling out quite a bit right now when jumping around from App to App. I’m in FCP and decide that I need to do something in Photoshop; so I open Photoshop, do my thing and go back to FCP. Once you come back to FCP from another program, including the finder, FCP is suddenly VERY slow to respond. Could this be an Io issue? I doubt that my 3 gigs of ram are lacking in any way. Any ideas?
FCP 4.5 ruled compared to this 30 pound box of crap. Thanks for the headaches, Apple!

It still looks bad.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I took another crack at it this morning and still no luck. The text still looks terrible and I don’t really want to downgrade back to Panther and FCP 4.5. I’ll try Nick’s suggestion of speeding up the filter, but that really shouldn’t be the problem.
Nick: Do you run an Io?
I spoke to AJA regarding the RT settings. Since the Io runs everything through the firewire as uncompressed material, bringing your RT settings down to Medium or Low and even Dynamic actually makes the CPU work harder to downconvert everything.
Any suggestions??
