I didn’t explain what I’m trying to do clearly, sorry. I need to expand the layer, not what’s on the layer.
For example, if I put a lens flare on layer that’s 100% scale, then the layer moves, the flare glow suddenly stops at the layer edge. I can make the layer larger, then put my flare on it, and I can move it without this problem. But when I apply Mocha corner pin, it won’t work if the layer is scaled up. If I put my flare into a precomp and put the tracking on the precomp, the precomp edge creates the same cut-off problem. Either way, if I scale the precomp up, I just get a giant flare.
Does this make sense?
