At times your animation may or will come out terrible. Optimization in Animation Shop is not the greatest.
You can play around will your settings, especially under the Tab: Optimization. I change this setting at times from anywhere

Some people add a white background.  To add background, go to Animation: Animation Properties, select Opaque and change color to white.
