    Hi All!

    It’s been a while, but I’ve got a question / problem.

    I’m working on a 2D animations, everything went allright untill I rendered it out. Though I have seen this prolem before, now I can’t seem to solve it.

    Have a look at these screenshots / video example:

    https://www.in60seconds.nl/example-01.mp4
    https://www.in60seconds.nl/eyes-comp.jpg
    https://www.in60seconds.nl/daddy-comp-01.jpg

    See the jumping? The mouths and eyes are all over the place. I’m working with Illustrator AI files which have the collapse switch on. The eye / mouths have their own comps (in which I have frames for closed / left / right / open eyes.).

    Then in the main scenes I put the body toghether, so I’m putting the eyes / mouths comps in there, again with the collapse transformation switch on. This is necessary, as I am zooming in sometimes.

    All layers are 2D and zooming is done, by scaling the layers. The other bodyparts don’t seem to flicker on or of / jump. But these are nested / collapse comps as well…..

    I already tried to turn of OpenGL, doesn’t work. Any ideas????

    Help is greatly appreciated!

    FIXED IT ALREADY GUYS!

    Damn that was easy actually……

    I nested the Scene Comps into one big Scene Montage composition. And I didn’t turn on the collapse transformation switch for the scene layers (as I wasn’t scaling them to more or less than 100%) I thought it wasn’t necessary…..

    Turning the collapse transformation switches on just made it work!

    Cheers!
