    Hei guys!

    I have this banner that needs to be animated. It was made in Ai (size 2002.77 – 686.62 px). The vectors looks nice and crisp. When I import it into Ae I loose quite a lot of the quality and I thought “no problem, I can always rasterize the layers, play with preview, put it at “Final Quality”, but still shows lower quality. It is more to so on the characters. The banner is going to be put on a website, so the characters need to be crisp and clear. Other than making the characters bigger I don’t know any other solution to this.

    Any thoughts?

    Here is a little test I did.

    Can you post a detailed screenshot? I dont see pixelation on the video you linked. There will always be some quality loss due to video compression, you know

    Hm judging by the colors, those arent really vector graphics I guess? I found that AE often isnt the best in handling non vectors coming from an AI document. Have you tried converting it to a PS file first?

    The clouds and and the balloon are tiffs. The clouds are vectors but they look like they are masked.

    It seems that only the characters are vector based

    I haven’t tried that actually!

    I will give that a go! So convert the ai file into an ps.
