Avoid to loose quality zooming/scaling vector compositions in after effects?
This is a question for experienced users in Adobe After Effects.
0) create a new project with main composition in AE
1) create a inner composition (any size)
2) place any vector graphics, such as text made by AE
3) go to main composition and place the compositino with vector graphics
4) create a camera
5) zoom in changing position, or increase scale of inner composition, the result is always same: the composition is loosing resolution, the final result is very pixelated.How to work with big compositions to avoid this problem, if I use a lot of zoom in, and dont want to loose the quality, i have to work with all the objects inside main composition, and forget about pre-composite?

For best quality, you should *always* turn on “continuously rasterize” for layers using vector graphics, no matter if they are nested or not.
The “continuously rasterize” (aka collapse transformations) switch is the one that looks like a little gear, immediately to the left of the quality switch, in the layer switches pane in the comp’s timeline.
NOTE: If you are using nested comps, the rasterize button *must* be turned on for that layer in the main comp, AND for all the vector layers in the nested comp.
As far as if you should nest – nesting is very valuable way to keep multiple related elements together. If you are using Illustrator with multiple layers and groups, then bring them all in as a comp so you can keep them together, and yet still maintain independent control over the various groups/layers.
