Images look terrible in adobe animate

Before you respond, yes, I am disabling smoothing on image files.

 

I have been comparing the image quality between bitmaps and images in adobe animate. I've noticed that while bitmaps look smooth, image files look just terrible when the VCam moves, with some weird graphics when the camera moves and calculates how the images should look. Can someone explain to me how to use images and no not have a loss in quality? I use massive bitmap files in my work for parallax backgrounds, but they are very resource intensive and I want them to be images instead.

    Check your setting for images in publisher settings.

    Hi.

     

    Can you provide some examples? And is this VCam that you mentioned a custom AS3 approach or the default Camera tool from Animate?

    The vcam is a custom AS3 approach many animators that I know of use. I don't like using the camera tool since it's not user friendly.

    Got it.

     

    What I can say is that if you have a bitmap that is set to be 320 x 320 pixels and the camera is at a 2x zoom, than the original size of your bitmap should be 640 x 640 pixels.

     

    To sum up: you should have all your bitmaps scaled down.
