Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Composition nesting and sort of antialiasing

  • Composition nesting and sort of antialiasing

    Posted by Marcelo Terreni on April 27, 2006 at 2:42 pm

    Hi, I’m working with nested compositions on After Effects and I came across this particular problem. First, a link for you to visually check what is it all about:

    https://www.escuelasporlaidentidad.educ.ar/entrevistas/nesting.bmp

    In the first screenshot, we can see the composition “escena_02” used as my main composition (meaning I’ll get my final render from that compo). Although some scaling transforms were applied to still images on it , theres is no big difference from Photoshop originals. But then, we have the other case, the “main” composition, called “00_PRINCIPAL” wich includes “escena_02” as a layer (the way I should work on this project as I got several scenes), and there’s where the problema arrises. Notice the slight blurring on image definition produced by nesting while working on that “00_PRINCIPAL”. I wonder whether After Effects is applying some sort of pixel optimization, wich produces this unwanted loss of definition.

    The question is: is there any way to deactivate this sort of anti-aliasing applied to a composition when included inside another one? Could you imagine another workarround?

    The picture doesn’t seem to be loading correctly.

    I’m not sure why it’s doing that. Are your comps using the same pixel ratio? (Square pixels, etc.) Same comp size? Same frame rate? Same fields? If all these are right, I’m not sure what’s wrong.

    Thanks again Michael, this week I’ll be running some tests on the settings you’ve pointed out. Later I’ll post the results obtained.

    Thanks
    Marcelo
