Hi community.

 

How can I see my animations with best quality in the timeline. I already have it set to full, but when I press the space bar to view the animation, they go pixelatted and some blurry. Only when I press the space bat again they images appear crystal clear again. Even when I scroll thorugh the time, some images seem to be moving left and righ, but when I stop scrolling they are intact. 

 

Thank you.

There's a couple of likely causes - depending on the comp you're previewing.  My guess is that you're using some 3D elements and so the previews are set to Fast Draft.

It might be worth checking out this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/previewing.html

Or if you can post a screenshot of the whole application, there's some other possibilities (the renderer you're using for one).  

 

One last quick check though, in the Preview panel, do you have "cache before playback" checked for the spacebar?

cache before playblack is not checked on.
