Illustrator Files in AE...Vector no more?
Hello!
I'm a relatively new face to the after effects land. I'm importing illustrator objects as compositions straight into a HD720p comp in AE. I wanted to double check something about vector objects in AE, now they are within After Effects they are no longer vector objects? I just wanted to check in case i was missing something, is this just how it is in AE?...or am i approaching this wrong? As soon as you bring anything into AE is it always now raster image? I have seen some motion graphics work where the shapes are zoomed into and never pixelate, whats a good way of approaching this? Hope you can help! Cheers, Neil |

AE will rasterize your image as soon as you add it to the comp which will give you the pixelization you were noticing. To fix that there is a little check box you need to activate in your timeline next to each Illustrator layer. It's called "Continuously Rasterize" it looks like a little sun and is next to the shy layer switch, if you don't see it hit F4 and it will toggle between switches and transfer modes.
