Hello there,
I apparently have a very difficult question to answer; unless you're up for a challenge, then it won't be so hard to accomplish. I would like to start off by being concise and making myself as clear as possible: I do not want an answer to another question, or a redirected answer. I want a no or a yes, and if yes then an explanation how. I am sorry to sound very unwelcoming with these first few sentences; however, I am on a deadline and have wasted too much time on a 6-second clip for a client that was only supposed to take originally 10 minutes to make.
Now, onto my question. I am having text look as if it is moving on a conveyor belt and some of the text comes across a box. This box needs to be cut out and a layer in front of the text in order for there to be a few things: continuity, and semi-realism to the footage. I have tried --on many, many different occasions and many different ways-- to use the pen tool and make a custom track mask; however, this never works and I have decided to go another route. This route is via a solid that is tracked onto my clip. I am photoshopping a section of the video and masking/cropping out the box and then going into pre-composition and pasting it inside there. This is found as more effective --and actually works-- better than a mask tracker. The issue is this:
As you can see above, the box is extremely pixelated and I have made many efforts to change the pixel size inside of Photoshop; however, this has no effect to the blurriness in after effects. The box always turns out this exact way with only a handful of pixels at a caveman-like quality. My question is, can I make the solid space px by px larger so that the image I insert to it have a higher resolution than what it is currently? Or, if there is no formidable solution to my question (i.e- solid's cannot be made larger in pixel size), then is there a possible way that my image can be made a higher resolution inside of the solid (yes, I broke my own rule in conciseness, but this is for just in case as I have a feeling I will have a no to my answer)?
Thank you for all of your help and the time you take and give out to people like myself within the community

My concise answer would be to review motion tracking methods.

Thank you for the correction, "Pixel Size" was meant to be stated as pixel dimensions. Here is a print screen of the full project and layers of the solid:
Here is also a print screen of the layers of the full project as well:
(Full depth of the layers aren't shown as they do not fit the screen, let me know if this is necessary.)
Also, yes. Sadly, due to my depth of current knowledge and understanding of AE --or any Adobe program for that matter--, it is very difficult for me to make an accurately tracked mask for this clip. I have taken time and consideration as well into track matte with previous help on another community member's forum; however, I cannot correctly interpret what is trying to be taught and like I said previously, I do not have the time to learn another part of software since I am on a very, very tight schedule.
Again, thank you for the correction to my statement and for the help.
