I am making my logo film company and is going to appear in a movie, but when I animated in after effects, looks pixeled, Is not possible to work with vectors and keep that format through all the apps? I can´t understand how to do it when I was studying in a graphic design school, I asked my professors, and never couldn't explain me well, or I didn't understand it. I made the logo in Illustrator, exported it in ai format, put it in that way in after effects, and looks pixeled. When being seen in a movie on a big screen is going to look terrible, What can I do? thanks

All video is pixel-based, so in After Effects the vectors will be converted to pixels. However if your video is high enough resolution you should not notice the pixels. That said, when you bring in vector layers from Illustrator into After Effects and enlarge them, you must turn on Continousally rasterize for that layer, so After Effects will render the vectors properly. To better understand what that does (and where it is) refer to https://engageinteractive.co.uk/blog/how-to-keep-vector-illustrations-crisp-and-hd-ready-for-animation-in-after-effects-cc
