After Effects Import Vector Continuously Rasterize not working
Hello.
I'm trying to import a vector into After Effects and it's not working the way I need. Yes I have Continuously Rasterize turned on. No the original Illustrator file does not have any effects on it. I've tried png, eps, psd, and ai files. Same issue.
1. This is what the original AI vector file looks like:
2. This is what it looks like in AE with Continuously Rasterize turned on, zoomed in at 400%. It's crappy.
3. And this is what it looks like in AE zoomed in at 100%, but I've scaled the image up to about 200%.
But I can't use the huge scale vector for my project because it is too big for my comp. Can somebody help? My brain hurts.
I do realize that it looks crappy within the AE viewer, but even after I export it in HD, it still looks crappy.
Basically, I just want a nice clean final picture to look good in my comp.
Hey thanks for anybody who can help. Huge karma waves coming your way.
When posting questions like this just a screenshot of the result is almost useless in diagnosing the problem. A better screenshot would include the Comp Window and timeline with the layer in question selected and all the changed properties revealed by pressing the U key twice. Also, since this was an imported file that is in question, if the footage item is selected in the Project panel then we can get an idea of the format, size, and other properties of the original file that may be causing problems.
You should not have to buy anything to get properly created vector files ti work perfectly in your composition. When you said zoomed in at 400%, if you meant scale factor and not scale of the layer then the behavior is normal, expected, and exactly what should be happening. Zoom Factor set to 400% means the comp window is using 16 screen pixels for every comp pixel. Zoom Factor set to 1600% means a single image pixel is displayed as a 16 X 16 block of screen pixels - so things are going to look pixelated when they are not. The only way to judge quality is to look at the composition window with the Zoom factor set to 100%. This is exactly the way Photoshop works.
Here's what I mean. A single Illustrator layer selected, scaled to 5174% and perfectly rasterized in a comp with the Zoom Factor at 100% scale. Note the layer size in the project panel. Everything we need to know to diagnose a problem.

Make my vector scaleable in After Effects CC 2014 - Continuously Rasterize Button?
Side Note: I'm a beginner, so please go easy on me. This includes explaining things to me like I've never touched the program before.
Hello! I was watching this tutorial here that displayed how to make a .ai file in After Effects not get pixelated when scaled up. In order to do this however, they press this button here (I'm referring to the button that the mouse is hovering over):
That button is not in CC 2014, so I'm not sure how to continue. Could someone help me out?
I'm happy to explain more if I wasn't clear, thanks!Wow, I feel embarrassingly stupid now. Thanks anyway!

Dynamic Linking between Premiere pro cs6 CC and After Effects is shaded grey and not working.
Hi, I currently have a CC membership with everything included in the package. I have already downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects. However, I cannot figure out why , when I right click a video clip in Premiere, the dropdown menu has the 'replace with after effects' option within the list greyed out, apparently not an option for me. I've browsed several tutorials and all of them illustrate using dynamic linking with ease as a readily available option. Can anyone help with this please?
Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition

Continuously Rasterize not Working
My computer is old, so I'm forced to used AE7.01. I've already lost some of you, nuts.
For those who remain, hopefully you can help a very frustrated man right now as old computer still do work with the programs written for them. I animate in Flash 5 (love the simplicity and bare-bones aspect of it).
For a current project, I have to throw my work into a 3d world created in After Effect (7.01 update) and would like it to stay vector until the final render.
Unfortunately, I'm having the following issues (see images):
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6486/ae7screenshot1.jpg
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/4762/ae7screenshot2.jpg
Any ideas on how to fix this to maintain vector support as AE7 is said to do?
Thanks!
(Images Below)Thanks, people
I suppose the next best solution is to render quicktime files at the max zoom level? Or upgrade computers...
Thanks again! -

And photoshop the problem is that when i try to open the photoshop 64 bit it starts to load the program but it crashes, it give no error or anything but the 32 bit version works fine, please help.
im using a windows 7 64 bit, 4 gbs ram, and 1 gb video nvidia Geforge GT 240M
juan acostaUpdate/ adjust your graphics card driver. Both crashes seem pretty clearly related to issues with graphics acceleration not working as required by both programs.

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.
I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

Im running 10.10, Mac OSX, it was running fine before a minor update came out, and now I can not open AE CS6. I have uninstalled, reinstalled it, installed the trial of CC 2014. No messages beside "After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup" come up.

Can someone provide a solution to correct this matter? Thanks
Additionally, i'm not able to do an update on Adobe for some reason. I'm getting the following error message; server is not responding; it might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect. I highly doubt it's my firewall settings.All updates are listed here:

Install the most recent CS6 update.
Don't install the update manually unless you encounter a problem with the automatic way. To use the automatic way, open any Adobe application (like Bridge) and choose Help > Updates. -
My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?
I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.
Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?
After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?
I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works! ;-)
