Continuously Rasterize Vector Graphics Option (AI, EPS, Ect)
Vector graphics are rasterized as they are imported. Scaling them larger than 100% results in a blurry graphic. After Effects offers a "Continuously Rasterize" option, and Premiere should offer the same. It could be an option under Interpret Footage.

Thank you everyone for your votes and comments. What's being asked for here is really a Premiere Pro core feature and not anything specific to Essential Graphics. The request is a good one, but it has to do with the way that Pr rasterizes vector-based source media like .ai and .eps files. I will be moving this request outside of Essential Graphics so that the core team can see and evaluate it more easily.

James, the Vector Motion in the ECP does not seem to recognize ai files. It isn't a fully functional solution.

11 years later and still no support for scaling vectors in PP. Adobe changes the "save-as" command after over 30 years but won't fix issues that actually matter to the paying userbase. This software company is becoming a joke.

After you import your .ai file into Premiere, drag the asset onto the timeline. Right click on the ciip and select Properties. You should see something like this...
Type: Adobe Illustrator File
File Size: 793.32 KB
Image Size: 1895 x 1760
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Alpha: Straight AlphaIf the Image Size is very small such as 200 x 200 pixels, then create a new document in Illustrator at the desired pixel size for your Premiere project. Copy your artwork into the new document, and scale it up. I made my Illustrator document size 2,000 x 2,000 pixels since the logo I'm working with fits neatly within a square aspect ratio.
Import the new file into Premiere. The artwork should appear razor sharp in Premiere.
I hope this helps.

Came across this bug today - absolutely crazy to think this hasn't been addressed yet given how much development have been put into PP in recent years

Let's see this happen, Adobe! After Effects compositions imported into Premiere should also be treated as vector graphics.

@Annika Koenig (Premiere Pro) Hi ! We are takling about Imported vector files, from AI, EPS, or any other vector format support which could be supprted.
-
Hi Raymond and everybody who commented before him. Are you referring to graphics created in Premiere Pro? Then we have the option to use Vector Motion as opposed to Motion in the Effect Controls.

I cant believe this isn't available. No video editor seems to support EPS without pixelisation. Please add it !

I came this issue accross today. I thought I was making a mistake but no: Adobe Premiere doesn't seem to keep the vector graphics information on any AI/EPS object. I'm very surprised about this as Adobe invented the AI format and promotes a cross app workflow, so YES: Please Adobe get this issue fixed - it would help us a lot!

This feature is already in After effects. Photoshop works with placed Vector (smart) objects.
It seems crazy that a flagship app like Premiere Pro cannot scale-up placed vector graphics without pixelation…
Please add, because saving out - and duplicating - files is so 20th century.

Hey Adobe please add some basic vector graphics options for your new Premiere pro release! These options are very necessary to working with. Adding/Importing vector graphics as they are vectors and infinity scalable are super useful in Premiere pro. Thanks in advance.

I'm a career programmer / web designer; with a BFA in Graphic Design and have been using Illustrator / Photoshop for 20 years. Now that I'm toying with video.. I can't believe Premiere doesn't do this out to the box!!!! SO FRUSTRATING

Looking up this issue today I found posts from October 2010 asking for the same thing, so I'm not too optimistic we will get this feature anytime soon.
While we wait, there's a workaround in this Forum thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/733038

We do have Vector Motion in the ECP for Graphics in Pr 13.0 which will help you avoid pixelization and clipping. Is that what you want?

YES, PLEASE, IT WOULD BE GREAT

Premiere Pro should have a continuous rasterization option, such as After Effects. It would be fantastic for the Essential Graphics Panel options.

I merged a couple of 'Continually rasterize' request into this one to keep the votes cumulative. I also moved it into the Essentials Graphics bucket. It's good feedback and something we agree would be a good improvement, so keep the votes coming if it's important to you.
