if the motion allows it, try a frame average in post (eg in FXtree : time blur)
this can help a lot to smoothen things, such as bad aliasing, jitter, noise, all kinds of artefacts really...
itll give you "cheap" motion blur too.
But if the motion is fast and the content sharp and high contrast, you ll get nasty looking "repeated edges".
 
I have two different scenes of a camera pushin on buildings. I'm getting horrible drop out and flicker on the edges and interior lines of the buildings. I have completely rebuilt one of the scenes, simplifed all the edges to simple bevels, diced all the large surfaces, monkeying with the anti aliasing settings and I'm still getting edges that pop in and out as the camera moves in.
 
I'm at a complete loss. Is there something obvious I'm missing? I'm supposed to deliver this like yesterday so any input would be enornously appreciated.
