AE CS6 wave warp pinning not working?
-
Yeah, I wanted to test out Google’s new-ish blog feature.
It looks really low-res, though. Was it that way for you as well? -
Hi Greg, I’ll get back to you with my results!

Hi Greg,
Just had a look at your tutorial again. Does it help the image quality if you switch the anti aliasing to high (instead of medium)?
I like the way you did it, but I am actually looking for a way to hide the lower edge without using pinning. Pinning also deforms the wave a bit and I don’t want this.
-
Yes, switching to “high” will give you better quality at the expense of a little slower performance.
As far as the distortion, I’m not sure I understand what you’re going for. Send some more details about the project if you’d like more input.
Cheers!

Hi Greg,
I made an easy example.
I want a result like on the right, the only way to get the same warp only above is by cutting of the lower part, but that doesn’t work on more difficult shapes. So how do I keep the wave warp on one side only. Pinning changes the warp.
-
That’s a good question. Without knowing what the more difficult shapes look like, I’d probably also simply try masking the part I don’t want. You can either use a mask on the Solid that has the warp, or you could mask it with a mask layer above it, and set the warp’s layer to Alpha Matte.
-
One way to do that would be to use the Displacement Map effect instead of Wave Warp. Use a simple repetitive gradient where you want the waves to be happening and then have a 50% grey solid with masks where you want no movement.
