Josh

You probably need to change the way that AE is interpreting your footage.

Highlight your clip in the Project Window > command F (on Mac) > change the frame rate to 24.

That should do the trick.

Wes

You are better off going in the other direction. Create your graphics in AE – use Final Cut to cut them into your video.

I would imagine it has to do with the aspect ratio of your composition. Square or anamorphic pixels?

What compression are you using to export the movie? If you are using the animation (lossless) compression, your playback will be choppy. There is just too much data too process.

Try exporting it using the preset DV settings and the movie should play fine on your desktop.

This is how I would probably do it.

Plot out the motion you would like with one circle. – Precomp it. – use instances of the precomp rotated equally to create your circle of circles w/ uniform motion.

I hope that helps.

Sounds like you have a solution figured out. For future reference:

If you expand the image in AI before you copy and paste that should ensure that the appearance is the same in both programs.

Object > Expand

This way you can animate masks.

If you are having problems finding the button be sure that your that your Switches/Modes toggle is set to switches.

You can paste the paths from your ai file on to a solid. Then you won’t have to worry about continual rasterization.

Be sure the “preserve paths” option is checked and simply copy and paste.

Preferences > File Handling and Clipboard > Preserve Paths

I had this issue in the past. I was running AE CS3 on windows. All it required was an update of AE.

For whatever reason the update was not automatic. I had to manually download it from the Adobe website.

It’s worth a shot.
