  • Losing Resolution when using camera with Vector Files… HELP!

    Posted by Missdivagirl on May 22, 2006 at 7:45 pm

    Hello to all!

    I am in the process of animating a 35mm camera in AE. My comp consists of an illustrator file (which is pretty large due to all layers… it is a map of our parish) and the camera. POV will be as though your are flying over a main street and when you get to the destination the camera will turn 90 degrees to point down then pull up to reveal the area. When the camera is straight everything looks pristine. The more we angle it, the more it starts to look really bad. I have checked camera settings and depth of field is not on and continually rasterize is checked for all layers in the comp and for the comp layer itself. I hope I explained enough to give you an idea of what is going on.

    Any ideas on what I may be missing? Your help is greatly appreciated!

    check antiailiasing in interpretation and make sure it’s set to more accurate and not faster which is the default

    Would the antialias setting be in the camera settings? I am having trouble finding the setting you are speaking of. Sorry 🙁

    interpret footage dialogue.

    select an ai file in the project window then file>interpret footage or something like that

    this is a tip i found searching the help files

    I found it but still doesn’t solve the problem. I am going to try starting all over setting up the comp. I haven’t had this problem before and I use cameras for everything including illustrator files. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

    Make sure you use the continuously rasterize/ collapse transformations switch on your 3D layers. Sounds like you saved your AI file with some crroked dpi setting, so AE will use this to rasterize the file initially (most higher dpi files look fine even without that).
