Title "shifts" up in frame after it's been rendered. Any idea why?

Hi,
I'm pressed against a deadline (aren't we all?) and need help fast.
A designer created lower third titles in Photoshop and saved them as .psd files.
Imported them into FCP and they work fine. When I key them over footage, they work fine and key in real time. I applied a cross dissolve to fade them up and out, and they look fine. I color corrected the footage that the titles are keyed over and suddenly the cross dissolve needs to be rendered. No big deal, except that after I render it I begin having problems.
The type fades in and once the transition is finished, the type shifts up in the frame. CLICK! Very noticable and very undesirable.
I've tried fading the titles using opacity in the Motion tab and it does the same thing.
Does anyone have any idea this is happening and how to make it stop?
Thank you!
Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCP 5.1

This is indeed a solution. Thank you for your help!
The .psd files include a "background" and "type" layers, so when they're imported, they create sequences. I've changed the settings on those sequences so that the field dominance is "none" and that solves it. It now means having to render them but I'll take it if they quit shifting.
The field dominance was already "lower" and so I just tried taking the fields out of the equation altogether, which since it's being derived from a still frame, kind of makes sense.
Thanks again,
Jay
Ahhh - reckon I've got it.
It's jumping up because fcp has misinterpreted the
field.
You will have to take the titles out of the tl ie.
delete them.
Now scroll across in the browser to field settings
and make all the titles lower by rt clicking the
field and choosing from the drop down.
Or select the titles in the browser>rt click
em>formatand alter there for each.
Now reposition them back into the tl.
Adjust and render.

Ball of death after 10.5.8 upgrade, any ideas why?

Gidday all
I have just upgraded to 10.5 and then to 10.5.8 doing a archive and install, after this upgrade my mac starts, shows the login screen, I enter my password, and the login process starts, this is where the problem starts, most of the time the dock will appear, but no menu bar at the top of the screen, and no drives (two internal drives) shown on the desktop, then the ball of death just sits their for ever, i can move my mouse around freely, but thats about it, if i hold the ball of death over an icon in the dock it turns back into a black pointer, then if I say click on a icon in the dock, the icon stays selected and dimmed and no application activation happens, after this I cannot select anything, and the ballremains.
I managed to create another user account (eventually) and successfully logged into it, everything started and showed and worked as it should in this account, yet if I try going back to my other account the problems start all over.
I reinstalled 10.5 and this seemed to work ok, then I applied the 10.5.8 update again, and basically the above repeated it's self.
My mac isn't making any fan noises like the processor is trying to do something, and im working on the test user account to send this post
i'm stumped, has anybody got any ides about what may be going on?
cheers

forgot tot mention, this update was done using the combo updater, on G5 PPC

I have managed to get the system prefs window open and navigate around the different features with out a problem, thing is my volumes still do not show on the desktop.
Some other interesting things are happening also, say I click on a folder in the dock, it opens up to reveal in a nice blackish looking window and a view of all the other folders with in, it gives me an option to click a button that says "reveal in finder" I click that and the window collapses and nothing happens, I would expect it to show in columns or something like that. I am also experiencing repeated dialogs (6 to 10) being thrown up saying "The Application "Finder" cannot be launched -1712, plus the continual spinning of the ball of gloom.
So im thinking their is a serious issue with the finder, of which I have trashed the plst, any thoughts?

Dictation stopped working after OS X update. Any idea why?

Mac was having dictation problems to the point where pressing the Fn twice would only lead to a "bing" and nothing more. I took it to the Apple store, they ran their diagnostics to the point of restoring the OS and it still didn't work. I had the Mac exchanged becasue Apple said it sounded like a hardware problem. It worked in the store but at home, after the OS X update and iPhoto update, dictation is back to being a "bing" sound.
I've read several threads about people who have it come up and then it goes away, and so forth. Mine doesn't even come up. I also tried different addresses in DNS and nothing works. Any advice/support would be appreciated.

If you us Webfoot, this may be this cause....from Webfoot website:
This solution addresses Webroot SecureAnywhere for Mac OS X 10.7 and higher
Due to the unique way in which keyboard shortcuts work on the Mac OS, the secure keyboard entry feature may prohibit shortcut functions in a variety of applications. This includes, but is not limited to, Adobe Creative Suite Products, Macro applications, or some built in features that are triggered by key combinations—such as Dictation and Speech.
This can be resolved by clicking the Webroot icon located on the top right of the menu bar, then clicking Pause Secure Keyboard Entry.
Once activated, you will see a checkmark next to the menu option. While this is selected, Webroot SecureAnywhere will not secure keystrokes against keylogging software, though it will still be actively protecting you against infections. It is important to ensure that this function is enabled when browsing the internet—particularly on secure sites that require a username and password.

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select

Sometimes after putting my iMac to sleep, I cannot get it to wake up again. It's as if it's shut down and I have to turn it off at the mains and restart it. Any ideas why? Does this keep happening to anybody else?

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. Something went wrong. You need to restore the iOS software and then restore from the backup.
Read this carefully and follow the instructions. Make sure that you restore from your backup at the end of the process. That is covered at the bottom of the support article.

Iphoto will not re-install after disappearing during a software update, any ideas why this happened?

Before i ran the software update i had to iphoto icons in the launch pad, both had exactlly the same content so i just ignored it for a wile till i needed to update my photos, which i was hoping to do after the update.
However when i restarted both iphoto icons had gone and iphoto seems to have been wiped off my mac completelly, I have got a back up of all my pic and videos so this is not a problem of recovering them.
i have then tryed to instal iphoto from the app store, resulting in there being a perminant downloading icon making no progress over the last two hours.
If any body has any idea why this happened and what i can do to provent it happening again as well as getting iphoto back the help wil be much apricated.

In addition to Larry's questions what software update did you apply? Do you still have an iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder? If you do what happens if you double click on it?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.
