  Massive Problem with the smudge-tool

  Posted by Oliver Koch on July 29, 2008 at 3:32 pm

  Hey guys,

  I’m in trouble with the smudge-tool of the liquify-filter in
  AE CS3.
  I’m about to create a tornado out of a still cloudlayer and my
  intention is to use the smudge tool to pull the tornado out
  of the sky and the move it over the screen with the offset which
  is integrated in the liquify-filter (i don’t actually know how
  this option is exactly called in english, since I’m using a german version).
  The problem is: It works all fine, but when i animate the offset
  to move it over, the whole smudged tornado jumps back a bunch of pixels every few frames and i can’t get any solution for this.
  I tried pre-comping and all that stuff, but nothing works out.
  Does anyone know where this buggy behaviour comes from and how to fix it?
