What's the best way to export vector art from Illustrator so that it can be used in other applications (particularly iMovie, Keynote & Powerpoint). I have been playing around with different file formats (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) but I haven't found one that doesn't look a little choppy.

This is most pronounced in iMovie; importing the file or getting it out of my iPhoto collection works fine...but when I drag it to the film line, it looks VERY blocky, even though I know the resolution is much better.

I'd especially like to be able to bring in things that have a transparent region without losing the transparency.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

make sure you anti-alias in the export prefs- that will make a big difference. also, if you export to jpeg, give it maximum quality, and you cant go wrong (or choose an uncompessed format- tif, tga, png24 etc).
