Don’t use the motion tab or wireframe in the viewer to move text, as soon as you do it looks bad. Under the control tab there are controls to move your text, use them and your text should look fine. Make sure that under the motion tab the position of your text is at 0 & 0 for the center point. Don’t know if in FCP4.5 has the “motion filtering quality” but that was to change the way still images looked, and it made a slight change but it stills not as good as setting the sequence field dominance to none.

There is no “motion render” in the sequence settings. I’m assuming it’s the “motion filtering quality” under the video processing tab in sequence settings?

I’m having the same problem in FCP 5. Almost any picture, mostly use .jpg’s & .psd’s, looks like crap. The work around that I have found is put the picture in anyway and change the field dominance for the sequence to none. Doesn’t seem to make anything else look different but the photoshop files look wonderful. I’ve read in other forums not to do this but it’s the only way I’ve found to fix the problem and it works for me.
