How to scale a layer in pixelated fashion in After Effects? How to scale a layer in pixelated fashion? I.e. each pixel of the image will grow to the block of pixels in the final scene without smoothing or blending (see picture below):



WORKAROUND  

To achieve desired effect you could use the Draft option quality of the layer:
Layer &gt; Quality &gt; Draft
It will scale like that, because every picture made of pixels (except vector graphics, but just don't use that)

You can force it with effect Stylize > Mosaic

Good luck!
