What version of AE, what OS/machine, OpenGL on or off?

Looks like a combination of Radial Blur (zoom)with possible masking, Camera Shake and Mesh Warp.

I looked at that screen shot several times but I did not catch that- sharp eye Jon!

Comp in AE should be full HD 1920×1080 progressive.
It is not always necessary but with movement motion blur provides a smoother animation especially when working progressive.
Render out a sequence of frames- .tga or uncompressed .tiff should be fine.
Again, your final animation may be just fine. The playback may be jittery because it’s an Animation .mov. Have the editor render out a second or two out of FCP and that will test it.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

So, if it’s not a matter of p vs i, then Joey is probably right on the money- the Animation codec is hard to play real time on most systems. Try rendering out from FCP and see if the final render still looks that way.
Also, do you have motion blur enabled in AE on the layer that is animated and the comp?Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

The cost depends on a lot of details – without those you can be anywhere in between 200 and 2000 (or more). If you want an accurate quotation then think about what you need ( idea, length, format, time frame), post that and ask for a quote. You’ll get a pretty decent idea.

You have not mentioned if you work in 1080i or 1080p- it may be a matter of interlaced vs progressive footage.

My advice would be to try and see which tools you like more and can use better to get what you are after. Tools are great only if you can use them – so whatever fits your style is best for you.

Dave mentioned this a few times- you want speed, quality and low price, but you can get only two at a time. For a low budget I’m afraid you will need to spend a considerable amount of time looking for templates that fit your vision (and possibly combine two or three) or learn AE well enough to do it yourself. I personally recommend the second, this way you will get something out of it. If you need something fast and cheap, then you have to drop the requirements in quality and just use the best you can find in the time you have.

Even though you have CS5, see if you have OpenGL on and turn it off. Let us know if that does anything.
