Does AE have a problem with 10bit uncompressed mov files?
I just imported some clips I made in FCP, from DV footage, and the clips seem to lose some significant quality when I view them in my comp. I exported the footage in FCP as 10bit uncompressed 4:2:2, and then imported it to AE. Once placed in the comp edges become jagged and overall color quality seems to be reduced. Resolution is at full and when ram previewed no change. Any thoughts, ideas?

thanks for the knowledge. I checked and AE already imported all of the clips with lower field selected, so I turned that off and now everything is looking fine. Never worked with uncompressed before in AE, I will have to keep this in mind the next time I use it, thanks for the help.

It sounds as if you exported the clips from FCP as progressive, that is, not interlaced (no fields).
In AE when you interpret progressive clips as interlaced (with fields), they go wonky.
By the way, and I’m making an assumption here, when you export from FCP, without having done any effect rendering in FCP, just export in the same codec as the original clip, using original timeline settings. This way the clip will be unchanged when you export. Exporting to 10-bpc Uncompressed doesn’t make the clip any better, just bigger. 🙂
