  Continued rasterization problem in AE CS3

  Posted by John Ghadimi on March 25, 2009 at 6:44 pm

  Hi;

  Having a very confusing problem. I have an AI layer in a comp, which I’ve turned on the continued rasterization switch. Works great. Now, I am using that same comp in a master comp to use as an alpha matte. When I scale that layer in the master comp, the AI file inside that comp is not scaling properly! It’s treating it as a raster file. I have the “high quality” switch turned on. Is there something I am missing? Not sure why this behavior is happening. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  thanks;
  John

  you’ll need to enable the ‘collapse ‘ option for the nested comp (it’s the same switch s the ‘continuous rasterization’ switch, but for comps it’s called collapse tranformations). this option will tell ae to use the layer specific settings from within the nested comp.

  for more on collapse transformations you can start with this:
