You may also want to try an additive key in the composite mode, it may give a better, more believable key than using your alpha.

I get that. But I am prepping files for AE, pulling selects, if you will. Instead of using the entire 30 minute clip in AE and hunting and pecking there, I am exporting QT that are not self-contained, making it easier/faster to navigate in AE. So I am not recompressing.
So, back to my original question…
Is there a check box that says “Export Using Native Codec”?
(and for FCP developers who may be tuning in) if there isn’t, why not?

After I import the file into the FCP Browser, scroll the Browser to the right until you find the Anamorphic column and check it on the AFX clip.

Your workflow is correct. Edit your FCP sequence in anamorphic/squishy view. In AE, select widescreen in your Comp set ups. I export the AE renders as Quicktimes.

I believe it does not create a new clip. The audio people I’ve worked with strip off any level adjustment or FCP filters when they import the OMF.

In an 8 bit sequence you will more than likely get banding in gradients. First of all, if you have the opportunity, go back to AE and set you render settings to match the compression of your FCP sequence, in this case DVCPRO50, it will save you on rendering in Final Cut. Also, in AE add color Noise at 4% to your compositions. If non of these are options at 9:30 on a Sunday evening, add the noise to your AE renders in your FCP timeline.

I had the very same problem last week with some VO recorded too low. I ran it through the Audio Normalizer feature. Highlight your clip, then in the top menu bar select Modify>Audio>Normalize. I had to command Z and experiment with the setting a few times, but got it to broadcast levels in about a minute. It sounded good and passed specs by the master control engineers.
