Clean vectors at large scales

I do a lot of UX Motion work, and often times, need to do icon animations at a 1:1 for what engineers will output. I understand that AE is a tool that renders pixels, but it would be fantastic if there were a way to continuously rasterize vector assets within a comp. 

Sometimes, we’re working at 24px x 24px comps.  So jumping from Figma to AE can be a pain. I understand the reasons behind “why” we cap out the zoom and why I see the aliasing, but without jumping to another tool like Rive, it would be fantastic for AE to just let me see as clean as I can.. even if its incredibly limited in its use case.

  • Vectors only? Does it disable if I add a raster image?
  • What happens if I add an effect? I’d imagine it would also need to disable as well.
    • Would be great if it didn’t.

TLDR: Rive and Figma have spoiled me on seeing vectors crisply in a viewport… and given the amount of UX work I do, it would be fantastic if AE could offer the ability to do the same, even if it weren’t available in every possible permutation of my workflow.

    Thanks for the thoughtful write-up. 

    Upvoted from my side. If other UX motion folks reading the thread hit the same friction, adding your vote and a note about your workflow really helps push it up the queue.

     

    Best,
