collapse transformation and zooming
I have a problem with collapse transformations and zooming into a layer. This seems like it should be a common problem but I can’t find any answer in other threads.
I have a solid with both a gradient and a radial shadow. When I zoom the camera in on them the effects do not scale along with the geometry of the solid. If I uncheck collapse transformations this does not happen but the image is bury.
Is their any way to fix this short of manually adjusting the size of my effects?

Nope,
when you apply collapse geometries on a solid or Illustrator artwork, the effects become discoupled from the geometry. Think of them as being applied to a comp-sized adjustment layer over the continuosly rasterized layer.
You could use expressions to indeed have the effects calculate appropriate values for the transformed layers.
For a Point-controls, that would be:
x=value[0]*width/thisComp.width;
y=value[1]*height/thisComp.height;
p=[x,y];
toComp(p);
You can apply this expression to both Start and End of Ramp
For Radial Shadow, apply the same expression to ‘Light Source’Note: when you toggle Rasterize to off, you should also toggle all these expressions off, and vice versa.

Thanks. Is what I described a feature or something Adobe is working on?
