  Final Cut quality change issues – please assist

  Posted by Cody Parcell on July 27, 2009 at 7:34 pm

  I’m working on a 720×480 sequence in Final Cut, and everything seems to be working normally, except that when I import a graphic from After Effects, FC reduces the quality drastically when I drop it into the sequence. The graphic is just text over some blurred elements, and when I move it into the sequence, the text gets aliased from here to Hades and back, which is to say, a lot. Oddly enough, when I view it in the viewer, before actually adding it to the sequence, everything looks fine, smooth text, no problems.
  Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated; please let me know if you need any further clarifying information.

  Thanks again!

  Make sure your export settings and your FCP timeline settings are the same. Sounds like a square vs. rectangular pixel issue. Alternately, if there’s no alpha channel in the graphic, you can create it using the ‘animation’ codec, then render it once you drop it in the timeline. Should look fine then. Good luck
