[Sam] If this is set to any DV codec I get the horrid jagged look, otherwise it’s fine.
Humm….I’ve never seen this before. Obviously you haven’t either. If you built the whole spot in Motion and just want to render it out in FCP, then change your Quick Time Video Settings to a non DV codac like Uncompressed 8-bit. This will make FCP render the project, but that doesn’t matter because you are going to render it anyways. Then export it out in the DV-Pal format for final delivery.
You may want to re-post this question in the Final Cut Pro forum.
