Scaling down composition loses quality
This is an atypical situation that has us pretty baffled. We have a "banner" animation that was originally created at 720x1080. All the content in the animation is solids, live text layers and a couple of photos. The content is beautiful and sharp when we render it out at 100% size. We have to kick out a set of videos at 320x480 which is a proportional size, and each time we scale the comps / animations down the quality goes to hell.
The 3 methods we've tried are:
1) First, simply scaling them in AME during render
2) Creating a new render comp for export at the smaller size, dropping the original composition into it and scaling it down to fit the smaller comp size
3) Repeating #2 expect enabling "continuously rasterize" switch
We manually set the quality in the composition settings and viewport to "Full", just to be sure. All 3 methods produce renders that have fuzzy type, images and vector graphics. Scaling down does not usually produce this kind of problem. The only thing we haven't tried is to parent the ENTIRE animation to a single null, but that's a rather messy task as we have layers previously parented to others, and for a dozen or so banners is more effort than should be required imho.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
