<p>I have created a mo graph video using After Effects and Premier in HD 1920X1080. The client wants a much smaller version in 320x240 but every time I render out the smaller version pixilates. </p>

<p>Is there a way I can fix this</p>

That's a bit like the client wanting you to fax them a copy of an oil painting, and then complaining that there's no colour. They're basically asking the impossible.

Why do they want a smaller version?  What are they trying to do with it?  What are the reasons for their constraint?  All of these are critical pieces of information for meaningfully answering your question.

How can I export 1920X1080 to 320X240 without losing quality?
