  AE bug causing unwanted scaling changes

  Posted by Rod Duarte on February 8, 2020 at 3:00 am

  Hello everyone!

  So this is a simple thing, but absolutely frustrating to the point of making me quit working on it.

  I’m trying to simply animate a box that will have text on it.
  The animation is a horizontal scaling effect, from 0 -> 100.
  I make a solid, click the stopwatch icons with the playhead on the frames I want as start/finish, unlink the horizontal and vertical values by clicking the little chain link icon.
  First frame, 0%, last frame, 100%.

  Done right?

  Wrong.

  When I play it, I notice it’s changing the VERTICAL size of it a little. Then as I go frame by frame to check, I see it’s going OVER 100% a little bit as it progresses and then back. I never touched the vertical attribute… Why is this happening?

  EDIT: I just realized it’s only happening after I do easing. Im using Motion 3 to do this. So mabe it’s the plugin. Still, anyone know a workaround?
