Question

Need help with sharpness of Illustrator Vectors in After Effects.

Hello everyone, I am trying to animate a logo and then use that animated file in a Premiere pro movie and other areas such as Powerpoint title screen. 

 

To do this, I imported the elements of the logo as Illustrator Vector graphics. I have "continuously rasterize" set for all of these layers in After Effects, but no matter what my export settings, the letters in my logo still aren't permanently crisp, sharp. There is blur and I need it to be clean. Is there anything I can do here? I have attached screenshots to show the AE settings and a screenshot of the final render where my letter is blurry.

Cropped screenshots are almost useless, but I can tell that your Composition Panel is magnified to about 400% or more. The comp panel is pixels, so if you zoom in to 400% or more, you are going to see the same pixels that you will see in Illustrator when you Magnify to 400% and turn on Pixel Preview in the View settings.

 

I don't think there is anyting wrong. You just need to take some time and learn about the UI. The Learn workspace and the User Guide can help.

The most likely cause is that you are using a feature in your illustrator artwork that causes it to be rasterized already there and then of course it loses its magic. Without seeing your AI artwork in a screenshot including the layers and appearance palette we can't tell you what to do specifically, but you should check this stuff.
