  Wave Warp Changing When Scaling Up

  Posted by Lauren Gillespie on November 17, 2017 at 8:01 pm

  I’m having some trouble using the Wave Warp effect. I have a banner waving behind a plane I am animating, and I want to zoom into the plane to go to my next transition, but zooming in is affecting the way my Wave Warp works! I have tried pinning my Wave Warp on all sides, but nothing I have tried has kept the Wave Warp from changing when I zoom in or scale up my plane.

  As you can see in the images below, when I zoom in or make the plane larger, it is adding extra wave height to my banner, and making the waves quicker as well.

  I want my banner to wave like this:
  

  NOT like this:
  

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am very much a novice when it comes to After Effects, so it’s very possible there’s something REALLY obvious that I have missed. Thank you!

  ya..unfortunately thats how it works…you will need to pre render out your waving flag..then attach it to the plane

  That worked! Thank you so much! I have had some quality loss happen since I pre-rendered a small comp size with my vectors, but I will size up my pre-comp before I pre-render to compensate. Thanks again!
