i've this small problem with A.E right now, i did this animation and everything is coming cristal clear except a box where i have some graphics that comes out all aliased, how do i kill this
i already turned on the quality to best??any ideas

does the layer w/ the box has the quality switch in the switch/mode turned on?
- Drno0
yes it is, i wven checked it , but they are still jagged, i don't get it,
the letter were outlined in illustrator and imported in A.E.
did i say that i contract them to 50% of the original size, i know its not important but we never know

what are you rendered settings? is it a nested comp perhaps? if so check the quality settings in the original comp.
- Drno0
kuz thanx for your answer i think its that, i nested the comp but didn't set the settings to full, i'm going to try to render it,
lets hope its that
- Drno0
ok, still won't work but it did look ok in the other comp,
maybe the contracting is in for something??
any other ideas

what settings did you use when you imported it?
- melk0
is it rotated?
do you have the collapse transformations switch on (the spiky star)? try rendering out with it on then off - if its nested make sure all the illustrator layers have it switched on inside the the nested comp

I can't remember off-hand what the setting is called, but isn't there an option in after effects that tells it whether or not to keep imported vector art as a vector and not rasterized?
- Drno0
i don't get it , it looks fine in the nested comp but once i render it in the big on its looks pretty much like crap
- ********0
u explored render settings and checked everything's fine? including how it's meant to render nested comps?
(i think there's such an option)

make sure you have "continueous rasterisation" click on the layer. it looks like a *.

it still was pretty shitty looking,
but i found a way around, i opened the file in illustrator, contracted it to 50% and imported it into A.E.
it worked, think its because i imported it and scaled it to 50%,
what a weird problem
- chossy0
I think it is because you scaled it down sometimes lines esp. boxes turn shitty when you do this and it is quite annoying.

hi there. i suffered this problem for a few years, until i discovered the problem comes from working in SQUARE PIXEL to PAL, and always working in 16:9.
unfortunately, i'm not set up to currently view 16:9 on my monitor, so i can't recap on how to go about about this (it's been a while you see) but you definitely need to experiment with the interpret footage command, plus the comp size set-up in AE. i hope this helps!
