After Effects Help (prob not a lot of exp required)

I have an animation in uncompressed format that looks very clean- it's interlaced- lower field. When I bring it into after effects 6.5, i instantly notice that some edges become very jaggy looking- and no matter what I output it to it looks like it looses quality. I'm just thinking i have somethign set wrong in the timeline but I'm unsure as to what.

I wonder if the field order should be reversed? Or maybe there is a resolution mismatch. Sorry for the obvious suggestions.

when I import the footage, i just drag it directly onto the composition shortcut, so it creates a matching composition---

If the fields were reversed , how would I go about switching them?

resolution

i guess you could try and make sure your comp is sized according to the animation, and that you are looking at it in 100%...

not much of an AE expert... in photoshop, you get jagged edges when you view something at 33 or 66% zoom as opposed to 25, 50 or 100....

Mark, select the clip in the Project Window and press Ctrl+F. Make sure that the Fields and Pulldown matches your clip - Lower Field First.
