Pixelation from Illustrator to After Effects
Posted by Juan Torres on April 27, 2009 at 6:10 pmHi guys, so I am still working on animating this piece of graffiti, I import all my layers as a comp into AE and they look pixelated. I figured Illustrator layers would be vectorized. Is there any way I could retain the vectorized clarity when importing into AE?

April 27, 2009 at 6:59 pmThanks for the link, I went ahead and read the suggestion and it does not seem to make any difference at all. Any other ideas? I highlighted all of my layers and clicked on continually rasterize and zoomed in a lil and no difference was apparent.

April 27, 2009 at 7:46 pmDo you have effects applied to the vector layers? Some effects will cause them to rasterize before you think they should. Also, be sure your canvas and layers are all set to highest quality.

April 27, 2009 at 7:56 pmWhere do I change the quality of each layer? I have not applied any effects to my layers, I am just getting started, I wish to solve the pixelization first, I will probably post the finished product here next week but like I said I want to get these minor issues out of the way.

April 27, 2009 at 8:50 pmI am just confused at the whole vector issue, shouldn’t my lines be sharp? I will have some of my layers flying in on the z axis which will create pixelization for a brief period. Before I start animating everything I wanted to see if my layers could retain their vectorized look regardless of zoom depth.Maybe im thinking something way too complicated.

April 27, 2009 at 9:03 pmLook like you maybe work on 0.9(720×480) aspect ratio comp with square pix image!try with 720×540 comp.Your screen capture tell me that you are 400% zoomed in maybe is just that?Otherwise continously rasterize should do the trick.

April 27, 2009 at 9:29 pmThe first image below is in response to your double post in which I get the pixelated version on the z axis adjustment, the second is with the camera method, it also created a pixelated image of the layer, I did as you said, adjusted the layer into 3d then created a camera, selected the camera and hit c and c, then tried zooming and changing the position of the camera in which both created a pixelated view.

July 11, 2016 at 9:25 pmHi,
I’m using Photoshop Elements and I was wondering if there was anything i can do about pixelation. The photo I have was way too small and when I enlarged it, it became very pixelated. I’ve had programs in the past that would auto enhance for you and they came out quite nice. I tried auto enhance in here and it barely did anything.
