I’d think so. Generally keyers are much better in AE. What effects are you doing in AE that you can’t do in FCP?

YOur source footage is DV? Just export it and no extra compression is added? You’re not trying to export keys from FCP though, are you, or effects from FCP? If so, you need to fix your workflow as I don’t think it’s optimised.

AH, you don’t need to do that. Export DV to AE, export Animation out of AE to go back to FCP!

I think my article is right, but perhaps I should have made a distinction between RGB video and YCbCr video. I don’t have the time now to investigate further though.

Sounds like it’s time to do an experiment! Please tell me how you get on!

No. You can’t use 24pA with iDVD.

Your DV is YCbCr, and can contain levels from 0% to ~109%. These values are NOT IRE values though, they’re FCP’s internal system of values. See https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/video_levels_nattress.html
FCP always clamps >100% YCbCr values upon RGB export. That’s how it works. I’d try taking the DV direct to AE and see if that gives you any YCbCr to RGB mapping options, or preserves super-whites.

Sounds good. I’d just use the easy preset though, or make a modified one for anamorphic if need be.

Think you need to upgrade to the latest FCP.
