Help! Losing quality when importing .BMP or .PSD files.
Hi everyone!
I lately imported some .psd files into After Effects 7.0. Here

Are you using Open GL? There’s a good chance the image gets resampled because it doesn’t fit in the graphics card’s RAM. Also check your composition settings, maybe you are using an odd aspect ratio.

Thanks to Mylenium for the quick reply!
Shortly after the post I found out that the problem can be solved by switching the respective comp from OPEN GL renderer to ADVANCED 3D. So I think that indeed the images are resampled.
What came to my attention, was that the Motion Blur effect as well as the Frameblending did not work correctly under OPEN GL as well.
Is this a general OPEN GL issue? Could I use OPEN GL with a few tweaks or a new render plug-in?
Anyway i will continue to use ADVANCED 3D for now.
Thanks again!!!

No, must be the config of your card. Both processes are merely software based (accumulation and blending of pixel buffers at different times). If someon ever wrote a completely new 3D plugin for AE, I’d be one of the first to be on the train, regardless whether it uses Open GL or not, but it doesn’t look like this is going to happen any time soon. In your case I’d rather think of optimizing the current graphics card and its settings or getting a new one. At least that way you can get maximum benefits from GPU accelerated effects, a trend which is certain to be even more prominent in the future.
