Why does my MP4 video export from Studio One 6 look so bad?

I was attempting to add a score to an 8-minute video.  Using drag and drop, I pulled the subject video into the arrange window.  Everything looked great as I built the soundtrack, but when I exported the MP4 using Song/Export Video, the video looked awful: low resolution, pixilation, etc.  The sound seemed okay, though.  I'm a complete neophyte at this, but I suspect a frame rate problem.  The original video has a frame rate of 29.97/second but the one produced by the Export Video command is at 17.58 fps.  When I go to Song/Setup, the frame rate is set to 29.97.  So...I suspect I'm doing something wrong, especially since my research didn't seem to turn up anything helpful.  Any thoughts or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure it out? Having the same issue. Every video I export is in terrible quality no matter what settings I use, and there are seemingly no answers to be found on the internet. Cheers

I encounter the same issue with the latest version available. It's somewhat embarrassing when I have to send a preview of my work to a client.
