I'm stumped on this one, folks:
I created this graphic in illustrator, made up of a pattern of wavy lines. Looks clean and normal in Illustrator, zoomed in at 400%:
However, when imported into After Effects, pulling it up in the footage panel, it looks pixelated at 100% magnification:
(Closer view):
I've tried a number of possible solutions I've seen suggested here and on Creative Cow:
- Made sure that the "document raster effects setting" in illustrator is turned way up (currently at 800 ppi)
- Turned on anti-alias under "document raster effects setting" in illustrator (makes no difference whether this is on or off)
- Made sure that pixel aspect correction isn't enabled in AE
- Played with "interpret footage" settings in AE
- Tried changing save options in illustrator -- create PDF compatible file/Use compression... neither make a difference
I'm all out of ideas. Is it possible that the illustrator file is TOO COMPLEX for AE to rasterize correctly? It is a very large document, necessary to make it work within my AE comp. (Here it is at 25% zoom in AE for reference):
Any ideas? Note that this is before I even put it into a comp, so "rasterize continuously" is not the source of the problem. Any help would be appreciated!
