Resizing vector paint
I have a lot of handwriting effects to do. It’s fairly easy to do with vector paint however I haven’t found a way of adjusting the paint scale after it’s done. Since I’m not sure the client won’t ask for bigger/smaller text I might be in for a lot unnecessary and tedious work.
I tried putting the paint in a separate pre-comp and use layer’s track matte but it still doesn’t work.
Any ideas? -

It’s not as “vector” as we’d like it to be, unfortunately. It behaves more like a regular bitmap layer.
So I’d recommend building it big, so you don’t have to scale up the VP layer and lose quality. Or do it once and scale it up (rough) if the client asks. Then re-do it once they’ve signed off on the final rough. Tell them if they request a scale-up after that signoff, it’ll cost them.
If you’re in a position to tell them, that is. 🙂

I’m not concerned about quality since I’m using it as a matte to reveal the text underneath. But I think I’ve just solved my “problem” too: the text layer’s anchor point is in a different place that the solid’s I applied my effect to. So even though I was scaling them by the same amount they looked different.

Ah. Yes. 🙂
