Rendering in After Effects for Final Cut Pro
I’m having trouble using rendered quicktime movies from After Effects with Final Cut Pro.
I have made a short title screen that zooms in on a high res picture (as the backround) with AE’s text effect. When I view the final product in quicktime it looks great but as soon as I put it in FCP and render it, it starts oscillating and jittering. It looks like I’ve got the field render wrong or something.
I have tried many different render settings in After Effects but none seem to make much of a difference.
Generally I use:Full quality (of course)
lower field first
29.9 fps
either ANIMATION or NTSC DVPRO
Premultiplied matted
Exporting to quicktimeIn this case I didn’t used any footage, I only used PSD files and some effects
Any suggestions would be much appreciated…

Are you previewing the output on an NTSC monitor? As my own rule, I use the animation settings for output in AE. When brought in to FCP, the movie looks very grainy. (same goes for all text in FCP–it looks like garbage unless viewed on an external monitor) If you are monitoring the output on an NTSC monitor, you should find completely different results. If you do not have an monitor, export the timeline to a movie and burn it to a DVD and check yourself.
Hope this helpsTim
