Can you link to some samples of before and after for both moved and unmoved video?

Are you moving whole pixels? Moving half/partial pixels would result in anti-aliasing as the program blends adjacent pixels to make the correct colour.

This is most likely a resampling problem like @nchpmn suggests. It could also have to do with the codec you're using for your output. If you're using a 4:2:2 or other chroma-subsampling codec, you can also see degradation in the resolution of the outputs. It can be particularly noticeable in the saturated reds and blues.
