exports always bad, what the heck?
Hello,
Anytime I export in PP it seems to be horrible quality, I’ve tried numerous types and codecs, including Quicktime Animation which is supposed to be the best (right?) and it’s all de-synced and sqaured instead of 1.33 HDCpro24p 🙁
Any ideas? -

Probably bad settings. Try QT H.264. Set data rate to 400 for 360×240 or 1200 for 720×480. Check the “deinterlace” checkbox on the media export window output monitor. Adjust the aspect ratio settings to fit playback in the output screen as desired (full screen or letterbox). If the aspect is wrong in QT player (it will be), you have to fork over $30. for QT Pro. Then in QT player menu “Window->Movie properties->Presentation” check the “conform apeture to: (clean apeture)” box, and then save.

Animation is no doubt your best (quality) compression so far as factory installed codecs, although your file size won’t drop that much. H.264 will drop your file size drastically but your footage will lose a lot of its quality. Simply put, all of your shadows will disappear and your image will look muddy.
When you export from PP, try changing your pixel aspect to square and use one of the following dimensions; 1920×1080 or 1280×720, depending on whether you shot 1080 or 720.
Let me know how it goes.
