    What are your render settings in the Output Module (guessing you’re rendering by “Make Movie”).

    What does your preview to external monitor from the AE timeline look like?

    Two things to check:

    By default, imported standard def video will be interpreted with lower field first field order. As AE previews don’t display both fields of interpreted footage, you effectively only see half the resolution. The workaround is to turn field interpretion OFF while you work, then reactivate it at render time.

    Also, do you have aspect ratio preview activated? This is a low quality stretch which doesn’t look so good – turn it off when you don’t need it.

    If you are planning to move, rotate, scale, blur, or otherwise distort the footage, you should separate fields. Otherwise, you should not separate fields. Re-interpret the footage without separating fields. Leave it off. If you are then animating anything in AE and want to render fields, you should render fields then.

    I’ve found that if you separate fields on footage that will basically be unaltered (except for brightness or colour, maybe) you lose quality.

    Let us know if that works.
