Weird thing is that when I load it into AE I get terrible compression artifacts.

If I play the movie in QT PlayerX it looks fine but if I play it in QT7 I get the same issues.

QT PlayerX doesn't seem to offer me the option of choosing a codec to export out of otherwise I could just export it as photoJpeg and bring that into AE.

Any idea if there is a way to tell AE how to decode QT files using QT X instead of QT7 ?

Or, any other good ideas?

Cheers.
