Need Help Please……
I have oversized text that I want to have pan across slowly from one side of the comp to the other until it goes off screen…..it starts out off screen from the other side……the problem Im having is that Im using the Roughen edges to create a weathered look to the text….but for some reason, roughen edges doesnt imprint the texture on the text, so when the text moves, it looks like the texture is behind the text…..when I try to pre comp the text with the roughen edges to premanently put the weathering on the text in one place, the text gets chopped off on the edges where it is off screen during the pre comp……I tried using the transform effect, same deal…text gets chopped off on the sides where it is off screen…..this cant be that hard to do…what am I doing wrong….??
Thanks….

When you precompose select the top option to move the text into its own comp the same size at itself, then inside apply the roughen edges.
You should also be able go into your current text composition and resize it to be larger than the outer most text.

I would just do the precomping, then in your big comp, make sure the collapse transformations/continously rasterize switch is enabled. While we’re at it, would someone mind telling me what that switch is called? Is it Collapse transformations? Or Continously rasterize?

It’s called both actually.

It’s called both. When referring to vector art it Continuously Rasterizes the layer, when referring to maintaining the 3D layers within a precomp it’s called Collapse Transformations. Just depends on if you have it switched on on a vector layer or a composition.
