  blurry objects/paths

  Posted by Dan Cooper on December 5, 2006 at 10:40 pm

  Hey to who reads this,

  My query is this… when i import either an image or a path as a mask from illustrator into my project it looses quality and looks like it has a slight blur on it. This is more evident when working in 3D space. How do you maintain really crisp looking, high quality images – end product is for TV.

  My thoughts are project settings such as resolution, document size, frame rate, etc. but i’m not sure what the best settings would be? (i’m based in Australia – PAL)

  What are your recommendations.

  Thanks for your thoughts,
  Dan

  Have you checked the Continuously Rasterize / Collapse Transformations Swith (looks like a little Sun, it should help on both counts?

  Yeah that does the trick for the quality. I like your style… however when i turn on the ‘sun’, the pre-comps that are in my timeline no longer respond the the camera which i have set up, and in the quality & motion blur switch columns a ‘ – ‘ appears. Also, on a couple of the layers the content has moved and scaled slightly.

  Any answer to that riddle?
