    Hello all,
    First time poster long time reader,
    I am creating a log animation where the main logo is a stripe, with several displaced strokes of the main stripe above and below (working from and AI file) the stroke lines are thin, I have already bumped them up from the original .96 pt in illustrator to 2 or 3pts, yet I still feel that the quality for a vector image is a little rough, I want to make sure the thin lines are smooth as opposed to blocky.

    Am I stuck with jagged looking squiggles or is there a way to have them look smoother and remain as thin as possible?
    I have double checked that all my preview and render options are set for high quality.

    So what do you think you wonderful heros of the interweb?

    When scaling up a vector image like .ai, make sure you have the “continuous rasterization / collapse transformations” button checked in the timeline.

    Kind regards,
    Eric

    Thanks Eric, but whenever I check the continously rasterize box, the layers of my logo animation develop these oddly placed patches of non existence which don’t seem to be congruent with anything like masks or something on another layer.

    this could be a fields issue. Try changing the settings on your render queue
