Null + Camera + Pixilation problem

May 17, 2012 8:02 AM

Hi, I am very sorry if this is the most difficult post to understand since it is difficult to put it into words.

 

I imported all of my layers and animated them with the "continuously rastor" selected. When I zoom in past 100% it becomes pixilated, even the text created in AW

 

I precomposed the animation layers to then use my null and camera to animate the entire canvas like a poster (the look of a fancier prezi)

 

When my master precomp has its "continuously raster" turned on, the null does not work. When it is turned off, the null works perfectly but I still have the problem of pixilation even at 100% My vectors are actually not that bad, its the text created in AE that is borderline illegible.

 

PLEASE PLEASE HELP

    Deconstruct the project, one layer at a time. Turn them all off except one, tunr the rster swith on and off. Tell us what happens.

    If your'e new to AE, the rasterize button has several functions and indications.

    I turned them all off and back on and nothing changed.

     

    The text under the precompose and the actual individual layers are horrible and the text layers automatically have the raster turned on and is greyed out, i cannot turn those on and offScreen shot 2012-05-17 at 11.47.37 AM.pngScreen shot 2012-05-17 at 11.47.10 AM.png

    Continuous rasterization doesn't do any good, when layer styles or effects are applied to those layers and that seems to be what happens here.

    ok so when I work my null, I will just have a pixilated end product?

    Since when its turned on, the null won't move, this is so frustrating! (thank you all in advance for your help)

    There are no options to keep the text and shapes sharp?

    I'm not sure what you are getting at. What you have looks fine by me. If it pixelates during renders, then as I said, there must be a reason, but it's not clear from your pictures. The rest is beside the point - you cannot verify CR by zooming in 200%. The comp zoom has nothing to do with that and naturalyl even CR'ed layers will become pixelated at any zoom larger than 100%.

    I am sorry, but I created a video in this same style and no matter how far I zoomed, I retained a sharp image

    Thanks for closing your thread with a positive result. Hardly anyone ever does that around here.
