I created an asset in Photoshop which is 1105x165, converted it into a smart object, and added it to my Creative Cloud libraries, so that I can access that asset in After Effects. This makes it so that if I update my Photoshop content, it will update the asset in After Effects, and it makes it so I can avoid rendering the asset to an intermediate format.
This is the asset in question:
Here's a screenshot showing the size of the asset according to Creative Cloud Libraries:
However, when I drag this from Libraries into my composition, the resulting asset is tiny:
When I look in my project assets, the asset is showing up as a PNG and at an absolutely tiny scale:
For some reason, the input image is 1105x165, and the asset that is imported into my project is 248x37.
Two questions emerge:
- Why is it not seeing this as a Photoshop asset, and rather seeing it as a PNG?
- Why is it scaling the source image down to be absolutely tiny?
I believe the source item in my libraries is a smart object from Photoshop that I had created. Is there a different/better way to import a linked Photoshop asset that I'm not aware of?
