Exporting for After Effects.
Hi Guys,
I’ve just finished an edit in FCP and now need to export the final edit for After Effects.
Can anyone suggest the best way to export without loss of quaity, and is it best to export as a quicktime uncompressed?If anyone can help but giving me step by step help that would be fab!!
Thanks

From your timeline go to File>Export>QuickTime Movie. You can leave “Make Move Self-Contained” unchecked and that will create a “Reference Movie” that will basically point AE to your captured movies or render files without having to make another complete copy of the material. If you are using AE on the same computer as your FCP then this option should be fine. Simply import that reference movie into AE and go to town. If you run into some problems, try the self-contained option. Good luck!

We work with DV, so disregard this if you’re not.
When we import any DV footage captured in FCP our
AE (version 6.5) does not interpolate the footage correctly.It always changes the pixel aspect ratio to Non-square (0.91:1)
and what it should do is interpolate to D1/DV NTSC (0.9)This makes a big difference in the quality of our AE output
back to FCP. Without this video as 0.9 it looks blurry.Don’t know if anyone else has this issue or if there’s a fix
but we just manually switch it over while working in AE.-Matt
