The resolution of your screen, the graphics card,LCD vs LED, all can and will affect the way your comp looks. Also, it may be a matter of the preview resolution in AE- make sure that on both machines you are looking at full resolution, 100%.

AE will not playback files at full frame rate unless they are rendered for preview. That may be your issue. Are you trying to view the files by clicking on the play button or the RAM preview?

In any workflow, when the source footage is at a higher resolution than the final output, the final output will look better than if the footage was the same size. The trick is to keep working at the highest resolution all the way to the end and then to scale down.
Encoder is designed for compression, allowing for variable bit rates and multiple passes, and thus allowing for better results than what AE can do.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

What do you mean by “I see the edges of my composition”? Are you referring to the sharpness of the image or something else?

I see a few things that need to be addressed in your workflow:
Editing in AE- if you mean by that image editing as in effects, than AE is the app to use, but if it is just straight editing (cutting the footage together) you should use Premiere for that.
When rendering for final output it is best to render uncompressed from AE and then compress using Adobe Media Encoder. You can also skip the render at uncompressed resolution step and open the AE project in Encoder and render compressed from there (use MPEG2 DVD preset).
As far as the advice you got: it is always best to work at the highest resolution possible all the way to the end of your project and then compress and scale the final piece.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

The quick answer is: NO, you can’t do that without a filter.
That being said you may try using a filter like this one to enlarge the size of your footage:

Work with proxies if you have footage files you need to include in your animations. If it’s only graphics then use vectors and work at a small manageable size and then use the Comp resize Script to resize your final comp and render out the animation pieces.

I think you may need to elaborate a bit – why would you want 3d layers if you do not want perspective? From what I understand from your info, it seems all you need is to create the composition in 2d, position your layers using scale and x and y, precomp and then make that comp 3d and use it in the master comp with a camera and other layers.

Here’s a link to a project I uploaded a few months ago of a magnifying glass bar- all AE standard plugins. It may help you with some ideas.
