editing

I was using a video right in my QC project but I thought that was dumb since it really slowed things down and I dont think that's the way to go. I might be wrong...

Through the help of many nice people here (DUST comes to mind), I have been able to get my QC qorking as I would like. However, I need to get this into a high quality video format over a nice quality video and I am having huge problems.

Even using the excellent QuartzCrystal, the output looks really bad in imovie or any other video application. Embedding a video in this only makes the import slower with the same results. either the video is super soft, or the graphics arent real crisp. just looks bad.

Now, I know I probably shouldn't have created my lower-third graphic as a high quality TIFF and then overlay real time data on top, but it seemed like a logical workflow. When i make a contained app with the QC it looks fine, even on a TV. The problem is getting this out to video so I can upload it and show it to people. If I dont get this out to a TV in some normal scenario that is NOT hooking my computer up to a monitor, then this will be a failure.

So, on top of the quality issues, the valueHistorian isnt working on a direct imovie import. Exporting to mov first doesnt help the quality, but does solve the HELLO WORLD problem. Can someone provide me a workflow or workaround for this?
