AI into AE distortion
When I import .AI files into AE they are the same height but the width is squashed and generally, the quality of the strokes is poor.
Why is this?
I built the file in Illustrator on a document 720×576 and am using the same size composition in AE on PAL DV Widescreen preset.Thanks, James.

The reason is that DV uses non-square pixels and AI uses square pixels.
Which version of each app are you using?

After Effects 7
and
Illustrator CS2.“The reason is that DV uses non-square pixels and AI uses square pixels”
Any idea what I should do to work around this?

I went to Interpret Footage and changed the Pixel Aspect Ratio from ‘Square Pixels’ to ‘D1/DV PAL Widescreen’ and this has allowed the file to maintain its original dimesions but the lines still look somewhat ‘pixelated’. Any ideas?

Hi there,
Turn on continuously rasterize, right between the shy-hide layer, and quality button to the right of the Source Name column, you’ll see a switch that looks like a ball with spikes. turn that on.

Thanks. This has made the whole image clearer but the lines are still pixelated. They almost seem like they are dashed.

Are you working in draft or full quality?
