Question
Blurry Video After Render. Any Help???

I am working on a project with as many as 13 layers of video subjects stacked as small clips, a .mov background video and one Photoshop image (I've tried .png AND the original .psd Photoshop file) overlay. The Sequence Settings have frame size: 960 vertical x 6625 horizontal (attached is a screen shot of settings, as perhaps something else is wrong), so it is tall and narrow so I can move a shoulder-to-shoulder cluster of 7 of these videos into frame---some up and some down. When they are rendered and exported, they all are to be imported into another 1280 x 1080 sequence once they are made into .mov clips.
The videos look fine when they are being set up but as soon as they are rendered the .png/.psd image shifts left and all layers appear pixelated and blurry. When I UNDO (Command+Z) the blurriness goes away. I got one render to work once. That had one fewer clips stacked (14), but all the others with 15 stacked tracks fail and are blurry and pixelated.
Attached are 4 other images. Two of close-ups of "the before and after" of the problem; another one showing the whole stacked sequence; and one more of the final frame layers lined up next to each other (without the video subject clips included). These last two images are just for clarity.
I am stumped and really have no other way I can think of to accomplish this idea.
In the last of the attached image you can see the message "This Effect Requires GPU Acceleration". That image is from when I was trying to do all the layers and film clips side-to-side at once. So, I figured reducing it to 7 layers might eliminate that problem. Following directions to reset the settings to solve the GPU problem did nothing to eliminate the message.
I am using a desktop Mac with OS X: 10.11.6 (so I can continue using FCP 7). The processor is 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Memory: 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2; Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB.
