  • shape layer transform SKEW clamped to (-85,85)

    hey all,
    have you ever encountered this limitation of after effects when you want skew a shape up to reach a flat 90 degrees distortion, but you can’t because the skew is clamped to 85 or -85?
    if yes… have you found any workaround or trick to solve it?

    thanks a lot for your help

    start to non-proportionately scale your shape layer, or try animating your skew angle (or a combo).

    It’s because a true 90 degree skew would be infinite in one direction and zero in another.
