    Hello,

    I’ve been doing some illustrator work and using vector files in After Effects. When I collapse a transformation or click the continually rasterize button when having a camera or effects on the vector layer it gets all distorted. I know that using the collapse transformation/cont. rasterize button messes with the render order in AE. Is there any solution to this? Or are you basically stuck with building stuff twice as big to be able to use cameras, scale attributes, effects etc? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    I don’t understand where your problems come from,
    a vectorlayer with collapsed transformation or continous rasterize
    (it’s the same thing) should just interpret the edges well at any size
    ore however close it is to the camera.
    Maybe you are precomping with a camera in each comp?
    Do a test, make a simple vector in AI and import it into AE,
    you can do anything with it and see the difference between collapsed
    and no-collapsed, it affects just the quality, nothing else

    Actually I find if the transfroms are collapsed then it becomes a 2d layer and loses camera control. IT is big problem and i am trying to figure out how to handle it.
