Solids/Masks-based SD project, easy way to convert to HD?
Hello.
I recently built a rather involved animation that is entirely using shapes build from solids with masks applied. I did it all at 720 x 540 pixels but am now wishing I could create this as HD. To go back and rebuild all of this at a higher resolution would be a huge pain, so I’m hoping there is a way to just import them into an HD comp that won’t blur the lines of the solids.
Does that make sense?
When I’ve taken a comp with a solid into another comp and scaled up, it gets blurry. I was hoping it might handle it similarly to Illustrator where, because they are paths, they could scale without losing integrity.
Anyone have some advice? I’m praying there is some trick I can do to make this a much simpler operation that it is appearing to lil’ ol’ me.
Thanks in advance for any info.

You could Make a new 1920×1080 pixels HD Composition within your project > then drag the SD Composition into the HD composition and turn on the “Collapse Transformations” Switch. It looks like a litte sun. and it’s next to the Shy Layer switch.
Good Luck!

To expand on that, I’m pretty sure that you’ll need to turn the collapse transformations/continuously rasterize switch on for all of the solids in your original SD composition as well.

Another trick I have used if you would prefer to keep all your layers in the hd composition, would be to parent any unparented layers to a new layer or null. Then change the composition settings to your hd format, then scale/move your new parent layer until things fit how you’d like. You can then unparent and get rid of the new layer if you so choose.
