Posterize Time effect messing with path animation
Hi you lovely lot!!
I have a pretty complex scene with a lot of path animation. I always work in 24 fps and posterize afterwards to between 12-15fps to get a more hand drawn feel. However, sometimes, the posterize time effect messes with my path animations that I’ve been keyframing frame by frame. Things just aren’t in the correct place after I add the effect.
While typing this I’ve just had a thought. Maybe its because I’m going from 24fps to 15, and after effects is creating new frames, where there wasn’t frames before? Maybe if I animated in 30fps, and then posterized to 15fps, after effects would just show frame 1, 3, 5, 7 etc? Same again with 24fps to 12.
Is there a way to stop AE from ‘guessing’ the frames? The only way I can see, is exporting, dropping back in and then posterizing.

By default, when you nest one comp in another, Ae can resample time smoothly. It is not only limited to the frames you see stepping through that nested comp one frame at a time at its native frame rate.
However, you can override this and make comps behave exactly like rendered footage does. In a comp’s Composition Settings > Advanced window, you can check the box to “Preserve frame rate when nested.” With this box checked, Ae will only sample time from the comp on rendered frames.
