I’m hitting the same problems you are having. I am using an 8 bit uncompressed sequence with Kona2 hardware – FCP 5. All settings on High Quality. When I import a still graphic as a tiff, it seams ok, untill I try and adjust it with the motion tab. Even a crop causes a bad aliasing to occur.

I feel Like I am missing something here, but I followed the advice given thus far and the problem persists. going to no field dom wont work for any interlaced footage, that is a fact.

I wish for a progressive frame world. I loathe fields.

For what it is worth, I am also a smoke editor and deal with mixing interlaced and progressive all the time with success.

FCP needs to step it up in rendering/graphics handeling in this area to be a decent on-line box.
