  • Getting Jaggy with it (Using Illustrator files in AE)

    Posted by Jonathan Capra on January 4, 2006 at 11:10 pm

    I made some simple polygons in Illustrator and saved them as .AI files. I imported them into an AfterEffects project, but I am finding that when I scale them, they pixelize! Isn’t the whole point of using a vector-based format like Illustrator that it would scale without jagged edges?

    If it does rasterize it upon import, I would think that it would prompt you to pick dimensions for the rasterization the way Photoshop does with Illustrator files.

    Anyway to get my Illustrator elements un-jaggy?

    Read the Help on “continuous rasterization” or “importing illustrator files”.

    HI,

    export the ilustrator files in version 7.0 or 8.0.

    Saving as Illustrator CS2 (assuming you’re on AE6.5) will work fine.

    As the ‘man’ said……”continious razterize/collapse tranformations” button needs to be checked,….but also read about it…..very useful little *
