I wouldn’t think if would be any different in FCP. However, you will have some render time if you have graphics or effects, now that you’re in the HD world…

Okay, so it was the Motion Filtering Quality…here’s what Dave Simon had to say…
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?

Yes, I’m having the same issues, I unfortunately have no answer as yet. There is a “Motion Filtering Quality” setting under the Video Processing tab of your sequence settings. I found no change with that.

Make sure you fully understand the Media Manager and what it can do, or not do in this case. There are some great articles about this at the Ken Stone site.(Kenstone.net?) Specifically, to avoid capturing more HD footage than you need, be sure to make all your clips independent and no longer part of the master clip. One issue that I never was able to resolve was that after re-capture, all the new HD clips would come scaled to 50%. But we were offlining using the DVCPROHD codec…maybe there’s an issue there. Also, hope and pray that all your original capture and logging was very accurate, tape numbers, sequential TC, etc.
Good luck
