Font looks pixelated. How do I make it look better quality? Please answer me simply, as I'm new to this software and don't know computer technical terms.Screenshot (19).png

You scalled your preview window to 200% so it showes you whatever pixel count you have in your original comp 2 times larger - so also pixels are larger and that is why you see pixelation. Change that to 100% and you will see font as it should be. 2019-03-02_11-30-44.jpg

Yes. After Effects is pixels not vectors but - After Effects can view and render vectors as vectors jou just have to know how.
F.eg.
- by zooming in preview - as you did - AE behave as PS - it wil show bigger pixels.

- but when you make your font or shape or vector files (here you have to remembet to turn on continous rasterization on that layer zzzz.jpg) you can scale it up as you wish and it will behave as vector.
So zooming in preview window is nothing else like looking on a photo/print through magnifying glass, but scalling up your vector layers is just like in Ai lossless. There is also "zooming in" with a camera but that is not important for now.
