**CURRENTLY**

I am drawing brush strokes in after effects that will be animated as arrows.

**ISSUE**

Every time I draw my brush strokes they come out jagged (not smooth).

[![brush strokes aren't smooth](https://i.sstatic.net/K3cj8.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/K3cj8.png)

Is there a way to make smooth brush strokes? or edit existing ones to make smooth?
I know that Illustrator has "Fidelity" option, but I cannot find something similar in After Effects. I couldn't find anything online to solve this problem.
