Vector graphics blurry/pixelated even when continuously rasterize is checked

Hi!
I have an after effects problem, my vector graphics is pixalated/blurry in both after effects and as a rendered .mov-file. 

Im trying to use a Ai file containging outlined font in two sizes and 2 images(tif) in separate layers. 
The document is set on RGB and on 300 ppi and is 1280x600 px and 1080x1600 px. 
The after effects document is set to the same pixel size. 

Ive tried both to use the layer as composition or separate footage. 
Ive ticked the box for "continuous rasterise" 
Ive tried to turn "fast previous" to "of". 
Ive tried do use ai-file that is 2560x1200 and use on ae-file 1280x600 and downsize to the same pixel. 
The resolution in AE is set on full, of course. 

Ive also tried to create new Ai-files with layers, separate Ai-files instead of layers... 

NOTHING WORKS - Ill need help, would very much appreciate any help on this matter. 

Thanks!

Your magnification ratio is set to 400% so every pixel in the comp view is 16 pixels in the preview. That's why they look blocky. No video editing or processing app will allow you to zoom in to the preview without doing that. Only vector apps like Illustrator will do that. Turn on Pixel Preview in AE and zoom in to 400% and you will see the same thing.

 

The other thing that I see wrong with your approach is that the size appears to be very small. the vertical lines making up the M appear to be only a little more than 1 pixel wide and not lined up with the pixel grid. This will always cause problems in pixel-based formats like video an web pages. You either need to precisely line up horizontal and vertical lines with the pixel grid or make them at least 2 pixels (points) wide in Illustrator. Thin black lines on white backgrounds can also create serious color compression artifacts when you render your video for delivery to the public. Color is compressed in blocks of at least 4 pixels so thin lines can start changing colors and creating soft edges, especially when they move.

    hi and thank you for your reply. 

    yes, in the print screen it's set to 400 just so that everyone should see on the tiny print screen (confidential project). It's the same when it's 100,50 etc. 

    the size of the font is not the problem in this matter, I have done the same graphics with other images before. But in this case it won't work..
