  • Poor quality Tff/PSD in After Effects

    Posted by Ryab Smith on January 11, 2012 at 4:15 pm

    I’m bringing in a file that is 2000×1000 into after effects, originally it was a tiff, but I separated the car from the BG and changed the format from CMYK, to RGB, and saved it as a PSD.

    I bring it into after effects, and it is fine when I preview it from the project window, but when I bring it into a comp it looks like it’s about 25 percent resolution.

    Any thoughts

    At the bottom of the composition window, check that the resolution is set to “full” and the size is set to 100%.

    For some reason it renders out fine to full resolution but, its pixelated when I am working on it. And it is set to %100.

    there is a quality switch in the switches panel of the timeline (a check box that looks like a diagonal line). make sure that is set to ‘best’ (it should look like a smooth diagonal line).

    also, if you have opengl enabled for previews (preferences>previews) uncheck the opengl acceleration option.
