QuickTime; Great Looking Export?...Anyone

Hey Premiere Experts,

I've been exporting QuickTime files (or, at least trying to) out of Premiere Pro2.0 and have noticed a significant loss in quality between my exports and my "opponents", who is using FinalCut on a mac. Now, asides from the obvious, is there anything in particular I should be doing to make my exports look better? (I've been noticing a lot of artifacting, and small writing looks very blurry and pixelated) -as oppose to the FinalCut export where the writing is a lot crisper and there is almost no artifacting in the image. Or, is this simply an issue with the codecs Premiere uses?

Can someone please provide me with an explanation and a possible solution i.e. using a third party software like ProCoder, or re-exporting using QuickTime Pro, etc.

Just to clarify, I think I've maxed out all the different combinations of options in the Export Movie Settings dialogue box, but the main thing is that I'm exporting as a QuickTime with the DV/DVCPro-NTSC compressor and the quality is set to 100%. Has anyone come across any good combinations that have worked for them?


Thanks everyone. Cheers!
