Ok, thanks for that. Really good to know about the Illustrator slow down! I didn't know that. I may drop just the Illustrator characters into P-Shop then and scale up to keep crispness, then use proxies as you say.

Thanks again!

You can also assign low res proxies if you go this route, and want to speed things up as you're animating, then turn off the proxies when rendering.

Yep. Pretty much.

When I have done it in the past and designed my characters in illustrator, what in would do is export layers to PSD layers and make sure I set the highest resolution I can deal with, so in AE everything stays crisp and clean, and doesn't need to use AI elements which cause a big slow-down with DUIK sometimes.

If I'm using a combo of DuIK tools and the Puppet Tool on Illustrator layers, will using continuous rasterisation break my workflow? Can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks.
