I began using this product today and I've had the same issue. When I set the options to render a Quicktime movie (any codec), the final movie looks down-rezzed, grainy and color-palette limited (like an 8-color GIF).
The only way I got sharp, anti-aliased imagery on par with what I was seeing in app was to render out separate PNG files. I would then have to open the sequence in Quicktime Player 7 and save a MOV file from there.
Other miscellaneous oddities:
Pressing the keyboard shortcuts ('A' for Add Dots, 'D' for Move Dots) does not trigger the tools. I have to use the mouse and menu to select them, or click on the tool's icon in the toolbar. Makes adjusting morphs VERY tedious.
The "Connect Dots" icon in the menubar has its right side clipped off. It is still clickable, though.
Rendering an uncompressed AVI resulted in a movie that Quicktime Player couldn't recognize. Any info on the codec you can provide us Mac users?
The application also shows *two* Apple menus -- the actual one in its usual position (with working menu), and a faux one to the right of it, with a smaller Apple icon, that highlights when clicked (no menu).
I'm using the latest version, 3.01, running on 10.6.2.
