    thanks in advance for any help. ae6 – i have an ai file of a bunch of dots. i scale in and rotate to a single dot to fill the frame. continually rasterize button is turned on and it works fine halfway through the move but once i reach a certain scale value the motion blur stops blurring. the dots do double up as to show where the blur would be, but it’s just looks like clean overlapped dots. any help would be awesome!

    thanks dave, but this actually was a project i originally did in ae5 and it worked the way it was supposed to back then. i opened it in ae6 and some things didn’t translate. i was hoping there is a “make it work like ae5” button somewhere 🙂

    It EXISTS but not as a button but as an icon. 😉

    I recall a MB bug in ealier versions of CS6 but I can’t recall the specifics. Are you using the latest CS6 build – 11.0.2.12? You may also want to post a cutdown version of your AEP and post it here for one or more folks to have a look-see.

    Cheers

    I see MB right up to the frame prior to the last KF of the Null parent layer. Perhaps you’ll want to crank up the Shutter Angle. You may also want to look into changing the last Bezier temporal KF for scale either to a Linear KF or mess about with the Graph Editor such that the curve isn’t too gradual as it reaches the last KF. The more gradual it is (easing in), will lead to a less pronounced MB effect.

    thanks for the suggestions, i will give it a shot tonight. i guess my frustration is that it worked just fine in ae5 and it’s my fault for switching to ae6 before they worked their usual bugs out.
    note to adobe: keep the stuff that works, working. keep the new 3d features and I’ll take whatever used to work from the last version.
