Still looking for some assistance on this, after working with it for a while it seems to be getting worse. I am at a loss here haha.

Alright guys! I ran the file through Adobe Media Encoder just as Tudor suggested and that was the trick it comes out in the normal quality. Thank you to both of you guys for your help. Now that I tested it and it is successful I can put the final touches on this project.
Thanks again!

First of all guys thanks for taking the time to try and help me out here….
I went back into FCP and exported the video with the Apple ProRes 422 codec and loaded it back into AE but and I checked those settings and it appears it was already set to that as you can see here.
The quality remains the same, here are some questions I had about your last message here
- Cut together your clips as necessary in FCP.
– This has been done, should be no issues here. Yes it was shot with a DV camera by the way.
- Duplicate the FCP edit timeline.
– Not sure what you mean by duplicate the edit timeline. I did this and put it in a new sequence but I’m not sure exactly what it did.
- Change the duplicate’s codec to ProRes 422 in the Sequence Settings.
– I changed them both to ProRes 422 in the sequence settings actually, should I keep the other a different format?
- Use it to export video to AE.
– This is the main step that has me confused, you say export that video to AE? Do you mean import it into the program? I’m unsure how you export the video file from FCP into AE.
- Do your AE voodoo, remembering about field order.
– I have everything laid out really and just need to drop this video in underneath with good quality. That AE FX isn’t too extensive.
- Render using ProRes 422.
– I exported my video with this setting and it still looks exactly the same. I am doing it through the render queue, should I go ahead and do it with the Adobe Media Encoder?
Thanks again, I am just new to this program and codecs have always crushed me and been my weakness! I am trying my best to grasp the concept, and I am trying to make it where you don’t have to hold my hand the whole way!
Oh and Dave I see you work at KCRG-TV (ABC), that is good stuff, I work at WECT-TV (NBC & FOX) here in Wilmington, NC. I run audio here at the station, good thing it isn’t video :).

Alright I exported my video with the ProRes codec and loaded it into AE. The quality looks the same in AE but I have never used the Adobe media Encoder before. How am I to open my comp in the Media Encoder and which compression would I be looking to use?
You say what I’m looking could be interlaced footage, and that could very well be the case, how can I go about taking that off so it shows the true video quality? I don’t see anything anywhere about “Preserve Edges”.
Thank you for this help btw.

Would I need to do that if I just formatted though? There is hardly anything on my Mac right now.

Yes I installed it with the installation discs.
