loosing quality
I have a character recorded in blue screen (with a DV camera) and I was trying to key it in Premiere CS3, but as I was not happy with the results I exported a QuickTime movie (Animation codec) to key it in After Effects. The keying result was perfect, but I noticed that the image of my character in the rendered movie was loosing quality; this face was somewhat out of focus compared to the original imported source.
I cannot figure out why this happened, because the imported Animation movie is perfect.
Can anyone help me? -

You shouldn’t have to export anything out of Premiere to open it in After Effects to do what you’re talking about. You can import your Premiere project into AE and each cut comes in as its own layer; it’s wonderful. If you only want the one clip in AE, just import the clip that you’re using in Premiere they work with the same files. I’m assuming they’re avi files since you’re using DV.
How were you exporting out of AE that was losing quality?

You can also just click on the clip in PR. Right click. Choose>Replace with After Effects Composition(new to CS4). This will “dynamically link” the clip to AE. Any changes you make in AE are now reflected in your PR clip.
