Losing sharpens with Pre-Comps in main Compostions
I have a compostions with a few moving parts that looks nice and sharp. When I place it into another composition. I lose the sharpness. It just looks a little soft. Since these are lower-thirds its pretty noticeable.
Any Ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Do you have a screenshot or something we could look at to demonstrate the issue?
Is your precomp a different resolution from the main comp? If so, what are the sizes?

The Comp is 350×200 and I’m placing it into a 1920×1080 comp.
Im working on a few revisions right now but I will upload examples tonight showing whats going on.
Thanks for the reply!

Are you scaling it up to fit the new comp, cause that would be the problem right there if you have any bitmapped images.
If your images are vectors, like text, shapes and such, press the “continous rasterization” switch. It’s the one that looks like a little sun. Example here

Thanks John!
Checking the “continuos rasterization” did the trick!
I wasn’t doing any scaling, thats why I was unsure as to why I was loosing quality.
I’m wondering as to why there is an option to turn continuos rasterization on and off?
Wouldn’t you always want it on, to persure the quality of the pre-comp? -
Let’s say you created a precomp with some shapes, and it has an adjustment layer that inverted the color of the shapes. If you had continous rasterization turned on, that adjustment layer would affect all the layers below your precomped layer in your main comp.
That’s just one example of when you wouldn’t want to turn it on, there are many more.
I agree it would be nice if when you used vector shapes, you didn’t have to worry about them again, but it’s just not the way AE is built.
Glad I could help you out today.

Thanks for that example and for your help.
