Viewer vs Canvas- quality change
I made an animation in After Effects as a quicktime in full resolution.
The quicktime looks very clean. The Viewer Window in Final cut plays it clean. The Canvas Window in Final cut plays it crappy with alias jaggies.
Any idea why?
Thanks

The only thing that matters is how it looks on an external NTSC monitor. The canvas and viewer should NEVER be used to judge image quality.

Also, your Browser Viewer is just a QT player, sort of. The Canvas shows what will happen to your clip when it is converted to match to your sequence settings., Sort of.
If your movie came out of AE as an Animation file with alpha, when you drop it into a conventional DV timeline, lots of ugly things will happen to it as it is converted to DV.
