Hey guys

Yeah my bad I should have specified. My worklflow has pretty much been this:

-Capture and edit on Proress 422 HQ timeline.
-Any composites and effects rendered out as single clips at Proress 422, affected in AE and the put back into to FCP timeline at same codec.
-Send FCP timeline into color, bake, grade and spit out again.
-Export FCP timeline into single .mov file. (Current settings)
-Send .mov file to compressor; make .m2v with best quality 90mins preset.
-Bring .m2v into DVDSP and spit out a DVD.

Is this two many steps? Is there something I am missing out on? I seemed to have solved the muddy image issue. For some reason FCP liked my files imported from AE but as soon as they were rendered back out again through Compressor it decided to make them, (ONLY the AE clips) all muddy. Weird. I since re-rendered the files out again through FCP as Proress and this seemed to solve the problem.
Sorry for all the confusion…guys. And thanks for the help
Prad.
