  • Getting sharp edges

    Hello there!

    I’m currently into one of those projects in which you shoot a guy in front of a green screen, then key the footage and apply the Tint effect (After Effects 7.0) so that you get the whole guy in plain black as if he were a vectorial image. Everything works fine but when I scale my “vectorial guy” up to 600% or more, the edges blur. I know I’m not working with vectors but with video and it’s very unlikely they behave the same way, but I was wondering if there is a quick way (I don’t want to spend the rest of my life time rotoscoping) to sharpen the edges, so that the whole thing looks more like a vectorial animation.

    Try applying layer>auto-trace to the layer. Then scale it up with Continuous Rasterization on.
