  • Stroke on path not moving exactly with camera move…

    Posted by Adam Maurer on March 29, 2013 at 12:04 am

    Hi y’all,

    So, there is something weird going on with a solid that I have (with the stroke effect applied to a path)…

    Video reference: (password: test)
    https://vimeo.com/62908257

    As you can see, during the camera move, the stroke/solid (the purple one over white at bottom) IS JUST SLIGHTLY tweaked-out during the 180 degree camera move and is definitely noticeable that it is a teeny bit off. It looks like it is just crooked for one frame.

    Nothing about the solid is moving or keyframed– just a camera movement. Motion blur is on.

    Does anyone have a fix or a reason this is happening?

    Many thanks,
    Adam

    I can’t tell from the video why that’s happening. If you want you could upload the project file here and I’d take a look. It’s the last icon above—be sure to copy the link you get after uploading into your reply. Since that’s just text & solids, don’t worry about uploading any assets—the project file should be sufficient to figure out the problem.

    John,

    Thanks for taking a look at it!

    I was able to fix it and figured out the cause of the problem, though I don’t completely understand the reason. I noticed that the only layer that didn’t have a motion blur was your Solid line, By turning off continuous rasterize, the layer would motion blur, but the stroke would get way too big(cause you’d scaled it up to 891%. So I just unlinked your scale and set the vertical scale of 100%, while leaving the horizontal at 891.

    I’m not exactly sure why continuous rasterize changes not only the render order(puts the transform before the effect) but disables motion blur, but that was the cause of the issue. You are going to have to find someone a lot smarter than me to explain the exact reason why this happened, but I think you should be set to move forward on the project.

    Many thanks John!

    Yeah that is strange that it would change the render order.

    Much appreciated,
    Adam
