You didnt answer my question. which button is the draft resolution button? because I’m rendering it out with something that supports alpha channel. once its rendered, I bring it back into the project and its super low res. but none of my other renders from other projects are low res. which button is the pixelated Line button? please send me a screen recording/video of what you’re doing. rachelkodner1@gmail.com
your answer seems strange to me because I have the highest quality enabled for everything
Hello, Rachinc!
I’ve send you screenshot on e-mail)
You need opposite of “Best quality”, because we want sharp pixels!) Please, watch Tutorials #3 and #3b for more detailed explanation))
thank you sooo much, video #3 solved it!!!! (under render settings, go to quality and change it from “best” to “draft”, then under output module, format QuickTime…. but under format options choose “none”)
Great news!) Just remember, that for final render you need to choose “current settings”
To get both good quality for main elements and sharp pixels for your characters
Your characters render really blurry, Right?
1) Render them out with Render Settings – “Current settings” Output Module – Any format, that supports alpha channel
2) When you drag it in to new project and import in compostiton choose Quality and sampling – “pixelated line” (draft setting)
Step 1 will turn off automatic anti-alising of AE, the creates this blurriness, which wirks great in any project, except Pixel Art, where really want this sharp pixels
Step 2 will allow you to scale it up to any size you need)
Looking forward for your reply))
when I render out a pre made composition, it comes out low resolution. so I go into a 310×300 pre composition “010400_Sport_Squat” for instance and render out a QuickTime of it, lossless, or really high res, the render comes out really low res. what am I doing wrong? I know AE really well!!!!!! I can’t figure this one out. ive even purged my AE cache and restarted my computer. (I had dragged your project file into mine and got those results. so I went to original project file. same results.) it must be something im doing wrong (all my other renders for other projects look fine. but yours all low res)
Hello, Rachinc!
Yes this is pure pixels, you don’t 8k for few squares
Watch my quick videotutorials, where I show you a step-by-step pipeline for the smooth workflow!
You just need to scale it up and, and turn on draft resolution for character layer, and make any size you need))
I’m not looking for 8k quality. Just HD quality. and its not even SD looking. You said just scale it up. I dont need to scale it up. I’m using “hills_example” precomp to render from. and it comes out low res looking. The strawberry and cheery look fine but the people and the background are pretty low res looking
I skimmed your tutorials and didnt see anything about rendering or resolution issues. They only seem to go over placement of body parts etc.
in terms of your draft resolution suggestion, I’ve chosen “(Off) Final Quality” (From the fast previews dropdown), I’ve tried all the different line options under “quality and sampling”. which button is the draft resolution button?

I have problems about rendering both on After Effect and Encoder. The imagine blur automatically or change the face to red or even all in white.
Hello, Persychung!
After Effects trues to smooth thing oht by default, by we don’t want that in pixel animatiin, right?)
You just need ti tweak your render setting a little! Check out “tutorial” folder “3_important_render_settings” and follow every step, its quick and easy)
To be more specufic, check in render queue “Render settings” set to “current” or “draft” quality. This ation turns blurinness off)
Have fun and write me on e-mail,if you have more questions
Thank you for your rapid update! Appreciate!
Thank you) Enjoy)
Hello
I want to make title opener in my channel like thumbnail photo in video (start-options-exit screen)

Hello, Henry!
Logo reveal not included in this pack. This is complex character creator kit.
Pixel logo reveal is your choise for sure!) p.s. You can use this template in addition to create unique character and use it pixel logo reveal in addition)
Have fun!)
I Can’t find the Pixel Art Kit Logo animation Template. Where you show all characters, like if it is the name of the game. The one you have on 18 sec of preview sell video, Thanks
Hello, Joelquerram!
This is character animation kit template. With additional backrounds, icons and vehicels to play with!)
You can find logo reveal template here: https://videohive.net/item/pixel-logo-reveal-pack/19374831God… that item is awesome. The characters presets look super cool (I laugh each time I see the “rabit guy” in that preset), so I can start to play with characters very quickly. I’ve watch your video on your Youtube channel, very well done. I think that item will be one of my next purchase. Bravo EasySweetSauce.
Thank You, Minh2020!
Hi, Awesome Work, I have a question, How can I change the character from holding a gun to holding a knife or a celular?
Hello, Budawonka! Right now there is 2 options built-in for holding items.
You can awlays use your item in movements with empty hand and put them manually)
Thank you!)
Hey there! Really good work, love this so much but is there an option to make the head static (no more bopping up and down)?
Hello, FRAPFX! Thank you for nice feedback!
Head motion up and down in some moves built-in precompotion to add some life and arcade fill, but here is a tip for your need: You can update it manually to your needs: 1) Duplicate move you want to update (ctrl-D) in project panel 2) Go inside new precompostion and find “head” layer precomp. 3) Uncheck “lock” icon on this layer (if there is one) 4) open position property (choose layer, push “p”) 5) Delete all markers, or turn-off stopwatch
That way you have your personal move, that works and updates with character creator) Hope it helps) Share your result! Have fun!

I have just brought Pixel Art Kit V 1.9 and Pixel Logo Reveal Pack V_1.5 and I am having a problem with the render quality.
I am trying to render out the character movements/ templates to put them into Adobe Premiere CC. I have followed what you said in “Important Stuff & Render Settings” video, but once I open the file in Adobe Premiere they are still not sharp.
Please can you help me fix this?
Hello, Jason!
Render setting was designed to turn off blurriness in exported footage, but there might be some troubles with scaling inside different soft e.g. in Photoshop You need to set scaling type to Nearest Neighbor.
I replied on your e-mail with more detailed help. Looking forward for you answer there.
Have a nice day!)

I was wondering, how did you do the talking bubble for the chat window; I can’t find the bubble with the “press A” to continue…
Hello, PifMeister!
It is very simple: 1) Drop clean chat bubble 2) Create Text layer with “A” letter and Triangle shape layer. Place them in the left corner. 3) Create Triangle shape layer and animate opacity 0% – 100% – 0% 4) Choose all keyframes, right click and choose “Toggle Hold Keyframe) 5) Copy keyframes to the end or write “LoopoutDuration” expression.
Now you have a blink triangle with letter “A”, that creates a nice gaming chat effect)
Have Fun!
Thanks it works !!
Great! Happy to help.
Hello,
This a fantastic kit, congratulations!!!
I have two quick questions:
1.- How can I enable mouths 30-33 and hair 34+? They are shown but can’t be used. 2.- I have an issue on After Effects CC 2017. Steps to reproduce: – Make some changes to Shop_Body and Shop_Head. Everything works OK – Render any composition. OK – Make new changes to Shop_Body or Shop_Head. Changes are not shown, these compositions are not updated with new values after a succesfull render (others do)
Regards.
Good Day, Vicapps! Thank you for your nice feedback! Please send more ideas for improvement and share your results!)
Answering your questions: 1) Main compositions might occasionally not be updated because of AE cashe system. Try push “Ctrl+Alt+/” To force purge and it will work smooth again) *Also might be because of full cashe disk size (Edit-Preferences- media&disk cashe) try extend it or clean: - Edit – Purge – All Memory and Disk size (Don’t worry it is safe, just cleans your preview temp)
2) 30+ mouth and 34+ Hair piece are new items, that aviable in main project and preset #68+. Just re-create older preset you need in new project and they will work. I want to give all new cool option a.s.a.p.
(In haste to give you as much new options as possible, so older presets 1-66# still has old code and need to be updated manually, I’ll do it in future updates!)
For more questions you can always contact me directly via arsenyukm@gmail.com

Hello,
Thank you for your fast reply.
1) Is working fine now (Note for Mac users, to clean cache you have to remove files into Users > User > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Common > Media Cache and Users > User > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Common > Media Cache Files)
2) Could you tell me how can I select Hair Item over 33 on Shop_Head Composition? If I set for example 35 it reverts the value to 33. The same with mouth. Also I’m sorry but I can’t find presets.
Regards.
Always try to stay in touch.
When you download archive, in the project folder you’ll find main “Pixel art kit.aep” and also presets folder with 79 ”.aep” projects presets (e.g. “6_Hipster.aep”)
“Pixel_Art_Kit.aep” works perfectly with all options always, but presets in preset folder below #66 doesn’t updated to woman options yet.
Simple, re-create your character in “Pixel_Art_Kit.aep”, because now you must been working in older preset project. (HINT: There is a “Lipstick color” in mouth section of control layer “Shop_Head” in latest project “Pixel_Art_Kit.aep”. Just open it and you’ll see)
Got it! Thank you for your explanation!
No problem! Be sure to right me down, if you have some questions and ideas of improving this template!
Also, Your rating in “download” section will help me a lot too!)
