Q: animated stills stutter

I am moving a number of animated silhouettes around my frame with a video clip underneath. Every now and then, but always at the same time, one of the silhouettes stutter, very slightly. This will  be a very large projection and the stutter is not acceptable. At times I have as many as 5 layers of silhouettes moving around the frame. The silhouettes are faded in and out with dissolves, often the problem seems to come when a dissolve is ending, but frame by frame analysis reveals nothing unusual. All frames are fully rendered. Are there known issues with this kind of compositing in FCPX? Should I be using motion for this kind of work? Thanks.
