  Pixelated SWF files in After Effects

  Posted by Lydia Hibbert on December 3, 2008 at 4:26 pm

  Hi

  I am having issues with working between Flash and After Effects. According to the AE Adobe support-

  “Each SWF file imported into After Effects is flattened into a single continuously rasterized layer, with its alpha channel preserved. Continuous rasterization means that graphics stay sharp as they are scaled up.”

  I am not finding this to be the case. In fact, the only way I seem to be able to keep my vectors sharp is by exporting from flash as HUGE SWF files and then scaling them down on After Effects.

  Am I missing something here? I know that in ‘Motion’ there is a ‘fixed Resolution’ box which needs to be unchecked to solve this problem- could it be something similar?

  You need to turn on the “continuous rasterization” switch for the swf layer, it looks like a starburst.
