Imported Illustrator files pixelated, even after continuous rasterization.

Hey there,
I'm trying to import files(Text converted to objects) from illustrator to after effects, and they're showing up pixelated, even after I've selected continuous rasterization. Google is no help, sadly, and any help I could get regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

PAR of your comp?
Your comp window should look like this:
The PAR Correction turned on is a likely culprit.
The other option you can take a look at is in the File Interpolation rules. There you can set antialiasing to Best for EPS options. You'll find it under the more options in the Footage Interpolation popup.
The other thing that may give you problems is OPEN GL Rendering. Try turning OPEN GL off in the Comp window's Fast Previews options or in the Preferences.
This is how the Comp Window should look at 100%:

Cannot import Illustrator files - crash to desktop

Hello:
I've been experimenting with the Catalyst beta at work, but it seems I cannot import Illustrator files (yet phototshop files are fine). What happens is the following:
1) Click "From Adobe Illustrator AI File..." link on the start screen.
2) Choose an AI file in the file selector (I used the one found at http://www.insideria.com/2009/06/flash-catalyst-beta-1-top-bran.html)
3) Catalyst begins the process and shows a progress bar, but then immediately crashes to desktop without warning.
I've tried several other AI files, but the results are the same. Is anyone else having this problem?
System specs (if it matters) are:
Windows XP SP2
Professional x64 Edition
Intel core 2 Duo
2.33GHz, 3.93 GB of RAM

Ok, this is going to sound strange, but here's what happened:
1) I went to the Catalyst directory to retrieve the log file you mentioned. It seems I had generated about nineteen or so of these logs. I've gone ahead and attached them to this post.
2) I deleted all of these logs out of my Catalyst directory.
3) I went back and performed the above steps, and it worked! I even tried another AI file, and it imported successfully.
The only thing that has changed since yesterday is the fact that I deleted these logs. I'm baffled...

Adobe Creative 6 is still pixelated even after I updated it on my Macbook with Retina display. HELP!

I just purchased the Macbook Retina display and installed my Adobe Creative 6. I mainly use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat Pro. When I use these programs, it still appears pixelated even after I updated the software. I've attached screenshots.

Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 have had updates that add support for Retina Display (generically called HiDPI support). InDesign needs to be updated to a Cocoa interface on the Mac and 64 bit support on Mac and Windows which can't happen until the next version of InDesign. Acrobat 11 was released too early for HiDPI support to happen.

One of my imported MOV files turns "black" after editing with it for a time and I can't retrieve the images. This has happened three times, only this file. The placeholder is still there. Files are fine on hard drive. What gives? how to stop this?

How to import Illustrator files in DW?

Hi there,
How do you import Illustrator file as a background image in
DW. I've tried Save for web in Illustrator, but the DW is not
recognising the files. I saved as .svg in Illustrator, and yet
again no joy with DW.
Many thanks

You would have to save the image as a JPG or GIF image and
then you can
place it in DW, using CSS.

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do, It is very frustrating i have all my music from my old PC and a bunch of CD's i cannot import.

I haven't encountered this error, but let's try to figure out a solution.
CDs. Let's tackle this.
First, read this:
http://www.woopid.com/video/626/iTunes-Setup-Assistant
As soon as you insert a CD (assumng you have a drive), iTunes should immediately open and ask if you want to add this to your Library. Say "Yes." (You haven't set the quality levels yet, but we want to set up your library, first.)
Music. If you have individual tracks you want to import, keep iTunes open, and simply drop the tracks in the "Songs" part of the Library on the left side of the screen. The tracks should be added automatically.
If this isn't working for you, please describe the error -- or better yet, provide screenshots. I'm certain you will be able to set up your iTunes library pretty quickly.

How do I prevent imported Illustrator files from have the jaggies in Flash.

My imported illustrator files have straight angled pipe lines and these have the jaggies when exported from Flash to Premiere or QT.
I have imported them as both vector and bitmap with no success. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac running 10.8.2 and using Flash CS5.5.
Regards,
Mike

Here is a list of caveats from Adobe concerning Flash & Illustrator vector art.

FR: Constant rasterization of titles and imported Illustrator files?

The option to constantly rasterize Illustrator files in AE is great (titles always constantly rasterize in AE). Would it be possible to have this option in Premiere?
For example, I create a title. In the ECW, I animate the size of the title from 100% to 200%, but it gets blurry. It would be nice if the text could remain crisp, just like it does in AE. Ditto for resized Illustrator files.
Does anyone have any insight into why Premiere doesn't or perhaps even can't have this? If it's possible, it sure would be nice to have, along with the ability to scale assets to any size, beyond the current 600% limit, which AE doesn't have of course.
Thanks!

Here's my official FR for others to use as reference or copy/paste and send to Adobe:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Constant Rasterization of Titles and Imported Illustrator/Vector files
How would you like the feature to work?
Titles and imported Illustrator/vector files should remain crisp when sized above 100% the same way they do in After Effects when constant rasterization is turned on.
Why is this feature important to you?
Crisp titles and graphics look good. Pixelated soft mushiness does not. Allowing text and vector artwork to look good at any scale only makes sense, and would save users from having to resort to AE/Illustrator to solve this shortcoming in Premiere (or put up with soft graphics when AE/Illustrator aren't available).

Importing Illustrator File to Photoshop

Sorry, this question may be to vague to answer, but I have a problem with a file I created in Illustrator. When "placing" the file it gets imported extremely pixelated and corrupt. I know it's not the software, because other files I "place" into Photoshop from Illustrator look great -- files that were developed by other professionals.
I admit to being a bit of a novice in Illustrator and I'm thinking it's the way I set up the file, but I can't find any differences in the two files I have placed -- one being the file developed by another designer and the one I developed.
Sorry for this vague question, but does it bring any solutions to mind?
Thanks, Jim

Hi,
You're not suppose to "place" the ai file in Photoshop.
Instead you can save your logo in illustrator as a new PSD or PDF file, even you can open your illustrator file in photoshop directly.
Wish this helps.

FCP text is ultra-pixelated even after rendering. How do i fix it?

I've been working with FCP for a while now and this is an issue I've had a few time before. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesnt. thing is, i dont do anything differently from time to time. But its been happening every time lately. Even after I render, the text in FCP is very pixelated. It looks nice when im in the program, in my canvas, but then i view it full screen or export and the text looks terrible. Also, I've been using livetype files that are fully rendered and look great in livetype and after i render them from livetype, but the same thing happens. Am i missing something? Please help. I edit a show called Seesmix and it has happened pretty much every time with this show. I export it as .mp4. So if you want to see what im talking about, you can check out the show on youtube... http://youtube.com/profile?user=seesmix.
thanks for reading and please help!

i've seen your video and your text seems fine to me. are you planning to ever have this broadcast on television? if so then there may be an issue. but if everything is webcast then it looks fine. i'd tell you to view everything on an NTSC monitor before air but i'm not sure if you are going to need it.
you mentioned that when you 'watch it full screen' that the text looks bad. do you mean full screen on youtube or fullscreen on your comp monitor? how big of a monitor is it? everything will look like garbage if you expand it beyond the size that it was intended for. it's like, HD stops being HD if you look at it on a huge monitor. pixels get larger and you lose definition.

Colors of imported illustrator files don't match indesign colors

I'll be honest: I'm likely missing something really basic. This is really frustrating, though.
The simple version: when I drag an Illustrator file into my InDesign document, its colors don't match the colors of shapes in the InDesign document drawn with the same color values.
The long version:
I'm working on a resume document. I've created a logo in Illustrator - the document is in CMYK color mode and uses SWOP v2 color space. I've dragged the file into InDesign, where I have some basic geometric shapes that intersect the logo. The InDesign document is also set to CMYK and is using the SWOP v2 color space. I've noticed, however, that the colors of my logo (which, again, was imported from Illustrator) do not match the colors of shapes drawn natively in InDesign even when their hexadecimal color values are identical. To further this point. I created a shape in InDesign with color #86c8cf. I then copied the value #86c8cf into Illustrator and drew a shape using that color. I imported that Illustrator shape into InDesign and placed the Illustrator Shape and the native InDesign shapes side by side. I even exported to PDF and pulled it up in preview to proof it. The colors, while very similar, are NOT the same color.
Am I missing something really obvious? Or are these two programs not at all working together like they're always said to do so well?

Dunno why. Which versions of ID/AI? Not that it should matter, I get the same results with CS6 and CC2014.
One square in ID is native, the other from a placed AI file--though drag and drop are the same results.
Acrobat, hovering over one square...
And over the other square...
I used your hex values in Illy, used Illy's CMYK values in ID.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

Is there any way I can import Illustrator files in Photoshop touch?

I have downloaded PS touch to my tablet to manage images on the go, how ever al my work is done on illustrator and I heven't been able to import files from it, it appears it's only functunional with images. i was wondering if there is any plug-in that could allow me to import ai. files. thanks you all

PS Touch only works with raster images (like PNG or JPEG as well as its own native PSDX and PSD). No AI file support that I know of is in the pipeline. Could change, though.

In iPhoto 11 imported tiff files remain tiff after editing. I need to convert to large file jpegs. How? using the "export" function they become too small

I thought imported tiff files would be converted by iPhoto to JPEGS in previous versions of iPhoto. this might have been a disadvantage but my current project requires JPEGs as the final product.
thanks for any guidance
Jim

Drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the desktop or export as kind = JPEG
As to too small - what is too small? The pixel dimensions of the exported JPEG will be identical to the original TIFF - the file size is smaller because JPEGs are compressed - which of course reduces file size - which of course is the reason that JPEG exists

Applying a swatch to imported illustrator file (link)

Hi All,
I'm quite new to InDesign and I just want to query the below...
I've imported an illustrator file, which I have several instances of on the document, and have applied a colour swatch. InDesign is displaying the colour so that it fills the entire bounding box of each instance.
Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks v much.

Some don't like this, but I have NEVER had an issue with it.... In certain situations ... where you may be editing each graphic differently and you do not need to "link" your graphic, you can copy and paste the AI file into ID. (ie: it is not a logo that may change and you have a lot of relinking updates across multiple files) Like I said, I have never had an issue and have had some very complicated files to copy and place. Others having a one color square claim to have had issues. Perhaps it is an option for you. That function is there for a reason, and it is not so everyone can tell you not to try it.
