  • Extremely frustrating continuously rasterize

    Posted by Malcolm Desoto on August 5, 2021 at 11:15 pm

    I’m still trying to figure out how AE is rasterizing layers within comps. The new method is mind bogglingly frustrating.

    For example, if I have a composition consisting of a few solid objects, and try to adjust that comps opacity with the continuously rasterize switch on, it will only affect SOME of the layers within that comp…very very cool and intuitive.

    Of course, if I turn that switch off, AE lets me adjust the opacity of all the layers within the comp, but not my comp is blurry because it’s not being rasterized…

    Am I missing something super huge????

    The “continuously rasterize” switch behaves differently when applied to a composition it also serves as the “collapse transformation” switch. It basically changes how AE processes your layers when engaged.

    I know that it does both, is there anyway to separate those two functions? It seems insane to take away the ability to rasterize a layer without completely screwing up the layers.
