Urgent- Graphics to FCP

[Robbie Comeau]

I'm using AE 7 and Final Cut Pro 7.

I'm creating graphics in After Effects, and rendering them out as an alpha+RGB file so I can place them in my timeline in Final cut.

The show is shot in HDV, on the Sony Z1U.

When I place the rendered graphics from AE into the timeline, their a bit fuzzy.

My timeline for the show is:

Frame Size- 1440x1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio- HD (1440x1080)
Field Dominance- Upper (Odd)
29.97
Compressor- HDV 1080i60
Codec- Same as Sequence Codec

Can anyone explain why the graphics are somewhat fuzzy? I mean, I can get away with it, but their not crisp..And when I look at the graphics in quicktime after the render, their perfect. So it's an FCP issue. But I can't change any of the settings cause they'll screw up the footage I shot.

Thanks

The graphics are fine in FCP BEFORE the render...Then after the render they get all pixelated.

Is FCP resizing the graphics or are they coming in at 100%?

Since this is an interlaced job, can you tell if what you're seeing is interlaced artifacts, scan lines, etc?

What are all the specs you're rendering out of AE?

This may be an obvious question, but did you double check to make sure your viewing quality is set to "FULL" and not "HALF" or "QUARTER"

Double check that first.

Check the render settings since it might be different field order?
