Unable to invert matrix

October 9, 2013 at 10:41 amHI there,
I’ve seen this error posted about a couple of times, but none of the solutions are working for me…
I’m working in AE with some shape layers parented to nulls, parented to other nulls etc etc. I keep getting the following errors, not only when rendering, but also when working…
Cannot normalise zero-vector (17::52)
Unable to invert matrix (17::45)It seems to happen when I switch to full quality preview, and then obviously when I render. Happening on a mac pro and macbook pro, latest CC and CS6.
I can only pin it down to parenting to shape layers. If I precomp the layer and don’t collapse the transformations, it’s ok, but that’s not really a solution as I need to use shape layers, and already built a load of stuff at quarter quality that would be a real pain to go back and convert to non-rastered shapes.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
nj

Oh, and tried turning off new snapping feature. No dice.

October 9, 2013 at 11:23 amOK, now it’s happening when I try to rotate a null that stuff’s parented to. I’ll just resign myself to never parenting anything to anything until the next update. *update* – think I just hadn’t scaled some bits to 0.1…ignore my ramblings.

October 9, 2013 at 3:36 pmFor others reading this:
This is a bug in the new snapping feature that causes a problem when any layer in the composition is scaled to 0%.
This is fixed in the After Effects CC (12.1) update, due out this month.

April 28, 2015 at 3:10 pmI’m getting this error still. 3d shape layers parented to 3d nulls that are scaling and rotating are fine — the shadow casting from a spotlight is triggering the error. Running Ae 12.2.
