Can you tell us a way to replicate your problem? Because I do HD work all the time and have never noticed that particular glitch. You said you set up a very simple 3-D project and it was still there, can you tell us what the particular setup was for that simple composition?

Yikes! It’s a mograph piece but I had a hidden layer that I was using as a non-render guide! I am off to have Dave’s Stock Answer Number One tattooed on my forehead…
UPDATE: This is getting weird, I switched off the footage then did a few previews and everything worked fine. Now I have turned the footage on again and… everything works fine. What’s going on?
Thanks

I have the same problem but Live Update is always on and it is not the problem. Open GL is off, multiprocessing makes no difference…

Unfortunately I have no answers, but I just want to register that I have exactly the same problem. Live Update is on. Multiprocessing on or off makes no difference, I have turned off Open GL… anything I have missed?

This was explosion_01 in Act Ess 1. I then used CC Force Motion Blur, Fast Blur, Hue/Sat & Curves and finally made the layer Overlay mode. They last a very short time with a very fast animated scale to give the impression of flying through them. Finally I used VideoCopilot’s shaky cam preset (I think he calls it earthquake) at the moment when it is closest to the plane.

I did this rough a while back and used some explosions from AK’s Action Essentials over at VideoCopilot – https://www.videocopilot.net/products/action2/

As I have a number of effects I would really like to do it via a keyframed slider rather than a hardwired time. Could you please point me towards a correct solution or tutorial using this method?
As you can see from the image, to get the letter back to ‘normal’, Warp (Bend, Hor & Ver) should all be zero and Transform scale height should be 100. As I can’t divide by zero I don’t know how to get the Bend value to zero and so that expression is broken.
Appreciate any comments.

I think I am just being unclear or stupid or both.
I want to ‘tail-off’ the influence of the expression rather than end it specifically at a given frame. I guess this means keyframes, but I can’t work out how to create a slider that controls the audio and still use it in the Warp expression.
I have a letter ‘o’ pre-composed. On that layer I have a Warp effect. A couple of those parameters are driven by an audio layer. Obviously, as the audio is playing the letter is deformed. Towards the end of the animation I want to bring the rest of the word in – the word to which the letter ‘o’ is the beginning. However, because of the influence of the audio layer on that single letter, the word looks weird. I want all the Warp parameters to be zero by the time the rest of the word comes in, but I don’t want it to be a sudden jump; I want to be able to ease those values into zero over a few frames.
I thought I could do it simply with an expression control slider but I have a feeling I have to create a variable first…?
Thanks for hanging in there!

PS I can send the project if you think it would be clearer.

Thanks Dan, just looking at your site now!
I’m trying to work out how to add the expression to an Expression Control-Slider and then keyframe that, but I’m getting muddled. If I have an expression for Warp deformation on a layer, what gets linked to what? I have seen tutorials on the Cow, but can’t find the exact piece of info at the moment…
