Antialiasing Adobe After Effects

Because distortion in this effect is significant, After Effects uses special anti-aliasing techniques to produce the highest-quality image. As a result, the Twirl effect can be especially slow to render.

From PSOFT anti-aliasing is an effect plug-in for Adobe After Effects that smooths the outlines and colors of images (anti-aliasing), a necessary step for creating high quality digital animations. It produces images that look dramatically smoother and more natural by suppressing jaggies. Its main features are its high quality anti-aliasing processing and its easily adjustable parameters. This value defines the difference in color required for neighboring pixels to be treated as having different colors. A lower value will cause the software to respond to smaller differences in color. Using a bigger value is recommended when handling images containing gradation or noise.

Here’s a quick tip that will keep your After Effects graphic project looking sharp! Force After Effects to use whole pixels for smooth interpolation. Download Video Music Hd Free. If you’ve noticed that your graphics and text aren’t looking super sharp in After Effects, it’s likely they are not be positioned on whole pixels. AE is set to interpolate elements in your project at a subpixel level. While this is useful for pinpointing precise location and scale, it can result in soft or distorted edges on graphic elements in your project. This is especially true when the graphic has keyframed motion.

Graphic artist and programmer Chris Silich describes this: “When things are tweened, even in the tiny actual size comp, they often moved at sub-pixel speedsand when that happens, AE anti-aliases the whole thing, giving our cool block pixel art weird soft edges.” Here’s an example of the type of edge distortion that he’s describing (notice the blurred edges on the top box): So, how do you get that clean interpolation that we see in the second box? Chris uses an After Effects expression called Math Round, that will force AE to interpolate at whole pixels only.

The code for the Math Round expression is at Chris’ post. Further expanding on Chris’ expression, John Dickinson has created a simple AE preset of the Math Round expression.
