Quality settings change when rendering animation

When I start rendering an animation, the first frame that comes up shows that it's rendering the frame with anti-aliasing at 32 and light samples set at 1024. Every frame after is showing anti-aliasing at 8 and light samples at 128. How do I get the animation to use the initial quality settings for animation?

Running 2012 SP.0 64 bit.

Also, the photoview is constantly quitting and I have to restart rendering the frames constantly.

Thanks
