Is there an anti-aliasing filter for AE?  I've got some old footage pulled off D1 & 1" masters that I'm enlarging to 1080p.  The edges get real jaggy.  Any ideas out there?

Thanks!

    How are you doing the enlargement? Are you using AE's built-in Detail-Preverving Upscale effect (under the Effect>Distort menu)? Are you using a third-party plugin? Or are you just scaling up regularly?

    You could use the Find Edges effect to drive a track matte that you use for a CC Vector Blur effect... that might help.

    Thanks for responding!

    My version of AE (v11) doesn't seem to include the "Detail Preserving Upscale" effect (?)  I have experimented with RedGiant Instant 4k but that did not cut it.  RedGiant ReSizer shows promise, however.

    Sorry, that effect was introduced in one of the more recent versions.

    Hopefully the third-party solution works well for you.

    Alternatively, you could download a 30-day trial of CC 2015 and give the Detail-Preserving Upscale effect a go. Bear in mind that CC 2015 marks the beginning of a MAJOR change in how AE works under the hood. So expect some differences (and maybe some quirks). They have torn it apart and the AE team is nowhere near done with putting it back together, but some things work much better in it. (And some things don't even exist anymore! features not available in After Effects CC 2015 ) To give you an idea of how big of a change it was, the AE team recommended users to NOT let the CC app remove their old versions when they were upgrading to CC 2015.
