collapse transformation switch and 3D layers.
Ok Ive got a comp with four video clips in it, each clip is scaled down about 40%. I then nest that comp into a second comp and turn on the collapse transformation switch to preserve the quality of the four original clips. Why is it that when I then turn on the 3D layer switch that I can’t manipulate the z postion of the nested comp? (or when I do nothing happens) If I add a camera to the comp changing the camera position, point of interest has no effect. Also if I add an effect which uses a camera (card dance) the quality of the clips is not preserved. Why? Am I missing something, doing something wrong, or is that just too much to ask AE to do??

Turn your layers in 3D layers in the sub-comp.

Card Dance is basically a 2D effect with its own little 3D universe. It doesn’t know anything what AE does beyond tracking the camera. You need to keep your clips full res in a nested comp and scale this layer down with Card Dance applied.
