We also have had the same problem. Here’s yet another workaround, which doesn’t cost you anything, and only requires the toolset that you currently have – FCP.
Workaround within FCP:
-Export your clips as FCP clips with DVCproHD 1080/60i. Use batch export to make life easier if you’ve got a lot of clips. The newly exported clips will have the correct ‘compressor’ setting, and you shouldn’t experience any loss of quality since you’re working in the same codec.
I spoke with Apple about the problem – they are now aware of the issue – and claim that they are working to fix it ASAP.

Thanks to both of you.

I do do that, but it’s very limiting for the reasons you stated. Is there a way to insert the layer at the current point above or below a selected clip?

Walter,
First off, thanks for your generous response. I’m really trying to get a good grip on this codec issue…
[walter biscardi] “Why are you CC’ing in AE? Are you using Sythetic Aperture? You can use that within FCP.”
I am CC in AE because AE 7.0 came with Sythetic Aperture. I want to avoid spending more money for the plugin for FCP > but now I’m thinking it might be worth it.
[walter biscardi] “Purchase the Automatic Duck Pro Importer and simply export an XML from FCP”
What’s your take on the Automatic Duck Pro Importer. Is there any other solution, or is this the only way to go? Is this the real deal?
[walter biscardi] “Not if you’re going back to DV as final output.”
My final deliver is DVD – It is my understanding that if I render my AE file to an uncompressed 10-bit file or to the Sheer codec, my graphics and heavy color correction will benefit greatly.
Here’s another question.
Say I am working in FCP timeline DV-NTSC. I create a graphics sequence in AE, and then export it using an uncompressed 10-bit codec. If I add that sequnce to my FCP timeline, should I create a new uncompressed timeline sequence, and add everything, or do I add it to the DV-NTSC timeline, change the sequence settings to Uncompressed, and then render all of the clips. I’m worried that render is causing informational loss.

Thanks – that’s a big help to me.

Thanks.
If I were to work with JPEGS alone, would it be worth it to render the timeline to uncompressed, or will that render/processing degrade the images, and outweigh the benefits of the uncompressed timeline?

So how would I work with photos in uncompressed from the getgo?
I’m a bit confused…

Thanks.
When would I want to choose 8 or 10 bit over the Animation codec?
