Live Type fonts break up upon import into NLE

Question

So I create a title in Live Type - Preset: CCIR 601 NTSC sq. 4:3, Field Dom: Lower, with alpha channel - nothing major, just a little effect on a white font. I render it out and look at it in the preview window - perfect, crystal clear! However, when I import it into whatever NLE I am using, the import becomes jagged, like a field order problem. I use AVID MC 2.6 and Final Cut Pro 5. Regardless in both they do the same.
I have a sony trintron monitor and turned it on after reading a similar post. Same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Anomaly_7,
The AVID editors I work with use the Live Type graphics I create all the time. These LT graphics incorporate movement, effects, textures and they all work in AVID.
The AVID used here is the Symphony Version #5.
To match the AVID Import Settings we have here just click options. [It's in the lower left hand of the box]
Then set as follows:
1. Aspect + Ratio Pixel Aspect>select 601 non-square
2. Color Levels > select 601
3. File Field Order > select Even (Lower Field)
4. Alpha > select Invent Existing
One more suggestion is to change your deck preferences to drop frame and use the default settings in LT.
Please report back whether this works for you or not.
Good Luck
