Shatter effect comp boundaries
Alright i’ve been watching Andrew Kramers Planet Explode tutorial and when i decided to start doing it on a large scale i realized when i have the comp or the footage of the exploding planet, when i zoomt out with a camera or reduce the position on the Z-axis, the shatter stop at the boundaries of the comp, so now i have the shatter peices dissapearing round this square.
I noticed in Kramers tutorials when he does the same, it does not happen to him.
I worked a way around it by pre-composing the footage and putting the shatter effect and an adjustment layer and making the composition huge so that when i use it elsewhere, even if i zoom out or move the camera, you don’t see the square.
But it’s just starting to annoy me not knowing how on the tutorials it doesn’t happen to him. -

Good work.
I haven’t see that one yet but that’s probably exactly how he did it. The Shatter layers are very large and they are in a comp that is larger than the downstream nest container. Shatter behaves slightly differently in a 3d comp because it’s only a 2d representation of Shatter’s 3d space.You will find many effects and filters stop at the edges of a layer or of a nested comp.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I posted a response, but I had misread your post. You were already sort of doing what I was suggesting so I erased it.

You could actually control the camera moves in the shatter effect, or link it to an external camera.
