    Ok this is baffling me and many others. I need to export a high res QT, but at the moment what i see on the uncompressed QT and the FCP playback looks rubbish, it’s pixelated and jitters.

    Sequence settings:
    Compressor: Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2
    Quality: 100%Field Dominance: Lower Even
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Pal-CCIR601 (720X576)
    Aspect ratio: CCIR/DVPAL (5:4)

    I have an AF file animation (it jitters and the white lines look pixelated)
    I have imported DV 720/576 footage which is all H.264 compressed (this isn’t too bad but still looks a little rough)

    I’m exporting at all the highest settings, but it still looks like the FCP playback so it can’t be that. So what is it. I’ve gone from site to site to find the answers and there are none??? Help help if you can. All the best. James

    Let me get this striate you imported h264 files that are HIGHLY compressed files, not to mention that h264 is not an editing codec, and you then edit it in FCP and then are exporting it as an uncompress quicktime.

    I’m willing to bet that that is causing the problem.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    That might explain the imported dv footage, but i was ripping from DVD’s and didn’t have a choice. But the motion graphics that was compressed at animation, still looks pants in 10bit uncompressed, H.264 and animation sequence settings. Thanks for replying to my thread. All the best. James.

    You have the wrong field order. In PAL, uncompressed 10 bit is Upper Field First.

    In PAL field order is upper, except for dv, which is lower.
    Could that be anything to do with it?

    I’ve had similar problems and its gets fixed by playing with shift fields on the dv stuff.

    As for the animations stuff … sorry .. no ideas

    Thanks for getting back to me. Played around with the field dominance but no luck its funny as the clip viewer it looks fine, but the sequence viewer they look rubbish and I’ve tried every setting and tried to match sequence to clip but still no change. Arggghh. James
