I can’t speak for Motion, but this is what I’ve found with FCPX:

I don’t believe it is an export problem, but a playback problem with some apps. For example, if I export a prores movie from FCPX with potential banding artifacts, I’ll open it in QT Player and yep, it looks awful. However if I open it with mPlayer X the banding is gone. Also, if I throw the exported movie back into a FCPX event and play it within FCPX (with FCPX playback preferences set to “High Quality” it looks great.

Remember the “bad old days” when we used to have to open the properties window in QuickTime Pro and check the “High Quality” box in order to get our DV movie files to look good? Well in QuickTime X we don’t even have that option. Simply put, I believe QuickTime X is set to play back movies for better performance, not better quality.

I wonder if it’s exactly the same issue with exports from Motion?
Perhaps we think it has exported badly based upon the way it plays back.

That’s my unscientifically proven sixpence worth.
Happy to be proven wrong.

Cheers!
