Importing Illustrator files into AE CS6 render lo-res in final output video

Aug 19, 2012 7:03 PM

Tags: #ae #after_effects_cs6

Everything imports, loads, plays and renders from Illustrator into AfterEffects CS6. When I render the final video, the AI files are appearing lo-res in the HD video (1280x720).

Do I have a lo-res output setting turned on?

What is the scale of the Illustrator layer within your comp? Is it a 3D layer? Have you activated Continuous Rasterisation for the layer?
