If I put a 720p scene inside a 1080p scene and render it, will it have a 1080p quality or will it be upscaled 720p quality?

I would say upscaled. You can't make a 720P look like 1080P

But if the assets are 1080p? I'm not talking about the video at 720p, but about the scenes.

Haven't tried it but I'd assume it would stay 720p if you throw it into a 1080p scene.


If you put in the 720p scene then AE shouldn't mess with the properties of the original scene. It should just manipulate the output of the scene which is 720p.
The program can't make assumptions about stuff like that and should assume that you want it to be 720p if that's what you put in there.

Alright. So if I put an image of a star in the low rez composition and then reuse that composition in the 1080p composition, the star will appear blurry. Thats all I needed to know.

AE can do both

lets say you have a 200x200 video and you put it in a 100x100 composition, and then put that composition in a 200x200 composition, scaled to that size

by default, AE will first render the 100x100 comp frame and THEN scale it
this will result in a blurry/blocky looking final image

but the composition layer has optional 'continuously rasterize' checkbox, which means it scales the comp first and THEN renders the contents
resulting in a much more accurate result than the original 100x100 comp would allow

see here

this is for vector art but applies for comps as well

leaving 'continuously rasterize' off is somewhat better for performance so you might want to work with it off and only switch it on for final renders
