Character blurry after export - urgent

Report · Apr 24, 2018

Hi!

I drew a character in Illustrator. Animated it in Character Animator and exported it to After Effects (first as png sequence and then with the dynamic link). When I am exporting the scene there my character gets very blurry. I did set the resolution to High (400%) and unchecked Render as Vector. I drew the original character in Illustrator in 4K, so the scaling can not be the problem.

When exporting as png sequence the png is already blurry

What I already tried:

Raise resolution to High (400 % in Ch)

Export from Ch as png sequence

Export with dynamic link

Scale it to 1920 x 1080 in Illustrator

I would need a solution really urgent as the clients deadline is tomorrow...

Thanks in advance,

Nasha

Hi Nasha,

I believe you were able to find a workaround by increasing the dpi for the artwork file in Illustrator, correct?

Exactly. I was not aware that the dpi mattered for the export as 72dpi for screens is usually enough but it obviously did 😉

And, I changed the codec in After Effects too to Apple Pro Res 422.

Thanks again for your help though!!
