Composition window preview excessively sharp

Hi all,

So I recently updated from CC 2019 to the 2020 version of After Effects, and everything went smoothly except for one weird detail that's really bugging me. The preview in the composition window looks very strange, almost like the footage was artificially sharpened with any file I use (I will upload an example). Luckily final renders are free of this effect, but I believe it's evident why this divergence can be an issue. I have no idea what's causing this but it's quite frustrating. Could anyone be of help? Thanks in advance 🙂

You are viewing the comp panel at 25% which means that AE is performing interpolation on the image. to see it as it will really look, choose to view it at 100%. You may also want to make sure that you view it at Full Render quality in the Fast Previews secion of the comp panel.

Thanks for chiming in, Angie! I figured this could've been the reason as well when trying to fix it on my own, but it remains overly sharp even with those settings.
