Re: Keynote, FCP and bad Quality

It depends on your sequence settings in Final Cut. Look at the parameters. Keynote works with square pixels. Set up your slide size (Document Inspector) to the square pixel equivalent of your FCP sequence. Export Quicktime in the highest quality codec you have (right on up to ProRes 422 HQ if you can). Set the frame rate to match your sequence. If your sequence is DV, finish the edit and then change the sequence compressor to the high quality codec of your Keynote video. Set sequence to render all YUV material in high precision. Render the sequence.

Read up on ProRes 422 HQ. It may be better to use regular, non HQ ProRes 422 in your case.

The basic method is to set slide size and frame rate to match sequence. Export in a high quality codec. If your sequence already uses that codec, great. If it's a lower quality codec, such as DV, change it to the higher quality codec of your Keynote (at the end of your edit).
