Adobe After Effects CS4 * Continuously rasterize a layer containing vector graphics When you import vector graphics, After Effects automatically rasterizes them. However, if you want to scale a layer that contains vector graphics above 100%, then you need to continuously rasterize the layer to maintain image quality. You can continuously rasterize vector graphics in layers based on Illustrator, SWF, EPS, and PDF files. Continuously rasterizing causes After Effects to rasterize the file as needed based on the transformation for each frame. Shape layers and text layers are always continuously rasterized. When you apply an effect to a continuously rasterized layer, the results may differ from the results of applying the effect to a layer without continuous rasterization. Whether or not you continuously rasterize, if you view and render a composition using Best Quality, After Effects anti-aliases (smooths) the vector graphics. You cannot open or interact with a continuously rasterized layer in a Layer panel. Image from imported Illustrator file Original

In a 1992 interview Frank Zappa talked about the recital: Actually, the first time I had any of it [“serious” music] performed was at Mount St. In the liner notes of The Lost Episodes, Zappa pal, Rip Rense describes the event: It took place in 1963 at, of all pastoral places, lovely Mount St.
