  • jagged text in after effects

    Posted by Ceri Allen on April 8, 2010 at 5:23 pm

    Hi

    I am creating animations in adobe aftereffects CS4. I have been provided with an eps file from a client that contains some text and a logo (though it is not a text layer, it is a flat eps image file on a transparent background). I am placing this file onto a video background.

    On the eps and within aftereffects the text looks perfect. However when I export from aftereffects only one of the words on the text comes out looking jagged and bad quality but the rest is fine. I am working in 1920×1080 and have tried exporting with animation, appleprores 422 and H.264 codecs (the client needs the final movies in H.264).

    I cannot work out why only 1 word would look jagged when all the text is just together on one flat eps image layer.

    I have tried converting the eps to photshop file, didnt make any difference. The layer quality is set to best.

    To me this seems very strange, if someone can enlighten me please do!

    turning on the continuously rasterize switch may fix this.
    In the eps file, are all the elements vectors or bitmaps?
    Maybe somehow the one word that appears jaggy is a bit map and the rest is vector..
