Re: How do i make AE not blur my graphics by default?

[David Ghast] "I remembered that AE likes to do subpixel feathering when the comp dimensions are indivisible with the asset dimensions"

This is incorrect. AE resamples a layer when the difference between a layer's Anchor Point and Position values is not an integer - separately for x and y coordinates,

Try these -
1) create a 50x50 pixel solid
2) place it at position (200,50.5)
3) notice that the top and bottom of the solid is anti-aliased
4) change its Anchor Point value to (25,25.5)
5) notice that the anti-aliasing goes away

Experiment with different values and you will see that the statement in my first paragraph accurately describes the resampling issue.

The fix is to either set the layer to draft mode, where AE does not calculate motion with sub-pixel accuracy. This is likely to be undesirable if your layer is being animated.

The other fix is to ensure that the difference between your Anchor Point and Position values result in a integer.
