I’ve come across this roadblock to outputting finish quality graphics from my FCP editor on 2010 iMac. See image.

Re: rough FCP graphics output vs AE razor sharp output.

… The HDTV preset in AE is not equivalent to the AppleProRes422 format. This is potentially the issue. The recommended options were to convert the AE footage to the matching format OR drop the completed video into AE for final compositing.

I’d like not to do this finishing step. Is there a way to just output from FCP and get sharp graphics? I already have the ProRes codec viewer installed. I can view his mp4 output for client review. I’m using AE CS3 on a G5 2005 Powermac(not Intel architecture, if that matters), OS 10.5.8. I don’t see any ProRes options in my AE Output Module > Quicktime > Format Options. I’ve been output the Quicktime Animation codec so far.

I have CS3 and am not able to save a workspace with multiple comp windows even if I lock them. Will this work in CS3?

Just occurred to me that the short audio could be a good indicator of the length and pacing the Flash animator expected. So I should time remap to video, get client approval and move on. : )

Now there’s another problem I think I’ve seem on these forums and am working on. The audio doesn’t sync to the video.

Thank you for confirming that audio is not retained.

Workflow question:
So if I want to edit a mov with audio with a swf with audio together in the timeline (one cut only, no fades, nothing fancy) do I extract the audio from the source swf, convert that audio to something AE CS3 can import and sync it up in the timeline?
