  • Continuously Rasterize Messes up my Camera

    Why?

    I am in a rush to make a deadline to create a Kinetic Type project for the first time in After effects CS4. I built my text in illustrator, then I imported it into AE and broke the different parts in to separate comps. Then I added all my separate comps into one master comp where I created a camera to make my animation. My animation was working well tied with music, but when I tried to zoom into my text, the text became extremely pixelated. I came here and found a great solution… turn on Continuously Rasterize. Text looks great now!! but now my Camera gets totally thrown off.

    Help!

    Make sure your Illustrator layers 3d, or else your camera will no effect them.

    Thanks All. That worked! Hey but I have two other questions for now:

    Is it possible to still have motion blur while having continuously rasterize? may seem odd, but I would ideally like to have the text be crisp while having blurs appear when the text moves fast and rotates.

    With a ton of layers, is their an AE equivalent to grouping in a single comp?

    Absolutely.

    You can’t group layers per se, but you can assign a set of layers with a color label [link] to let you visually identify them in the timeline. You can also use color labels to select all layers with the same label in just a few clicks.

    Don’t think you can have the default blur on continuously rasterized layers, just use CC force motion blur. Works like a charm.

    Brilliant. The CC Force Motion Blur works a treat for Illustrator graphics coupled with motion blur. Go: Effects > Time > CC Force Motion Blur.

    You can leve them in their nested comps with all the layers whithin that comp have the switches Continuosly Rasterize and 3D layer turned on.
