Question

Precomp inside precomp, bad resolution after rendering

I have put a precomp inside a precomp inside a precomp. I get bad resolution after export, much worse then when the precomps where not inside each other this way. Is this to be expected? I do this way to get a cleaner workspace.

Assuming that you're rendering using the Best Quality Render Settings and the High Quality Qutput Module, the rendered movie file should look the same as the Comp at Full Resolution.

 

On the off chance you're somehow scaling something down in one Comp and then scaling it above 100% in a containing Comp, you can enable the Collapse Transformations Layer Switch in the containing Comp to tell AE to look at the Source Footage resolution as it renders; however, this will disable some AE options for the nested Comp.

 

 

 

If the Layer Source is a Comp, this is Collapse Transformations.

 

If the Layer Source is a vector based file format (usually Adobe Illustrator or EPS), this is Continuously Rasterize.

    Thanx! This high quality module, where do I find this?  I think I have best resolution but I am not 100% sure. I will try your suggestions. I think when I have this comp inside comp its called nested? Is there something I need to do, when I put precomps inside precomps to do it right, some settings?
