Try applying Effect > Blur & Sharpen > Unsharp Mask to the movie to bring some sharpness back to it.

The footage is 59 fps and the QT mock up is 25 fps would this affect the quality of the output?

That might affect playback quality.  When reducing a frame rate, we want the higher frame rate to be divisible by the lower frame rate by a whole number.  Reducing 59 to 25 may not be smooth while reducing 50 to 25 should be.

 

As far as sharpness goes, that's about how the image is being scaled.  When reducing an image's scale, Unsharp Mask is specifically meant for restoring sharpness if needed.

Hi milun_5570, thanks for writing in.

Did you scale up the video in After Effects? Scaling up may cause pixelation. If not, can you share a screenshot of the export settings?

Looking forward to your response. 


Thanks,
Nishu

Hi Nishu, thanks for the reply, the placed mov file is placed in at 23.5% so it's not been scaled over 100%.
Please see screenshots of layers and export settings.
Thank you
Milun.
