    Hi all,

    I have another question.

    I have an 200×100 pixel animation, and I want to enlarge it preserving the pixel texture, i.e. I want that the enlarged animation looks like the little one so squary. Is there a way in which I can enlarge the square of the pixels?

    I am on a project that I want to have atexture like those old graphics of the old DOS games, or the old game boy’s. Squary.

    I am making the animation pixel by pixel and I think it is easier for me than make an square grill of the size I want. i was wondering if there is a ay to do it.

    Thanks for your assistance!

    You can always change the composition setting resolution after making your scene. Then highlight all layers, right click on them and under “Transform” choose ‘fit to comp’

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    The problem with it is that making so, the enlarged video is quite blurry…

    try setting the quality of the layer to ‘draft’ in the layer switches (click the one that looks like a smooth diagonal line so it looks like a bit mapped diagonal line).

    this will disable anti-aliasing for the layer when it is scaled.

    I haven’t see the last comment! Thanks for the reply.

    Today i found that there was another post related. Maybe use the photoshop nearest neighbor option to enlarge the size of each frame…
