Shane, thanks so much for your reply. Sorry for the confusion in my post, the AE keys were exported using the animation codec, however they were converted to HDV as well as the other media inside Final Cut. I checked out Shane’s Stock Answer #2 before posting, but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I only say that because the sequence renders out the same low quality that I have in the timeline. It makes sense that playback might be lower quality, but I don’t understand why the renders are coming out the same way. Thanks again.
