I created 1080p composition in After Effects (added a screenshot) with a couple shapes, psd files, and plugin, but i need to export a video in 4k.
Is it possible?
How can I upscale my composition from HD to 4k without loosing quality?
Thanks for the help
Make a duplicate of your 1080p Comp and add something like "_4k" the tail of the Comp name.
Choose File > Scripts > Scale Composision.jsx.
In the Scale Composition window, leave "New Scale Factor" selected, enter "2.0" in the text field, and click Scale.
Close the Scale Composition window.
Open the "_4k" Comp and inspect the image quality while at Full Resolution.

Change the settings of your composition to 4K, create a null and parent all unparented layers to it, scale it to 200%, turn on continuously rasterize for all solids

It was easier to just recreate that project in 4k composition, but for future reference when i changed existing composition to 4k, it all got distorted and layers changed their positions. Did I do smth wrong? Should I just leave parented layers as they were cause if i do, they are the ones that cause problems?

If you did exactly what I said (create a null and parent all unparented layers to it, scale it to 200%), you shouldn't have any problem

AE's Effect>Distort>Detail-preserving Upscale was designed for such a task.
There's also a new AI-based upscaling plugin for AE - https://aescripts.com/scaleup/

He has all the original layers, so he should have cleaner results using those instead of effects or plugins

BTW, Warren's on the right track.

Render as you normally would.
