  • Re-size image with Adjustment Layer?

    Posted by Perrywaz on June 26, 2006 at 7:07 pm

    Hi,

    Is it possible to use an Adjustment Layer to re-size the image? I would like to “zoom in” on just a short sequence. Can I Scale the image through the Adjustment Layer?

    Thanks

    Yes you can… kind of. This will NOT work by simply scaling the adjustment layer. Rather, this is what you do:

    Select your adj. layer. Go to Effect->Distort->Transform. This will give you the typical transform properties (scale, position, anchor, etc) but within an effect. when you scale up the effect on the adjustment layer, all layers below it will be affected (or is that “effected?”), just what you wanted.

    Hope this helps.

    No problem. 🙂 Though I must give props to Dean Velez… who I learned it from.

    Another way you can approach this is to use a null object instead of an adjustment layer, apply the transform effect to it and then parent it to just those layers you want to scale.

    Hmm, I’m starting to like this little program you guys call After Effects. 🙂
