Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying almost every main codec that I can, including animation, and even “none” for compression settings. So obviously it is not so much the codec, but the settings I am not correctly using, since you are having no problems with the animation codec inside of FCP.

I tried your settings (I think) and ran two tests. When I made a quicktime movie of the AE Title, from After Effects, of course it turns out fine. But when I bring it into FCP to make the same quicktime, again, it loses a lot of quality compared to when it comes from AE.

The only reason I tested it this way, is when I want to keep switching between FCP in After Effects. Right now, when I want to add effects, or titles to my projects, I am taking the entire final timeline from FCP, exporting as a quicktime, bringing that into AE for all the effects that I want, and using AE to render my final movie. But if I want to do any additional editing to the final product, I have to start the whole process over. This is why I am looking how to find what I need to do to bring AE titles, or whatever into FCP.

Can you give me an exact breakdown of what you do to transfer. I tried the Alpha Channel to Millions + and straight, but there must be something that I am missing. Thanks again in advance if you read this entire message. ha Talk to you soon.
