It works like charm. Thanks again Walter! After re-importing it back into Ae and exporting it in different sizes I got totally different results, like you said. But I don’t really understand how to control the scaling algorithms.

Via the “Quality and Sampling” switch on the timeline.

A jagged line is low quality, nearest-neighbor scaling. A smooth, straight line is bilinear. A curvy line is bicubic (new in Ae CC).
