Ok guys, the bounding box actually does cut down on the file size pretty dramatically, and is extremely useful and common place in visual effects when you’re dealing with multiple elements and want to cut down on file size and processing power.

If you still don’t get what I’m talking about, the first few minutes of the Nuke bounding box tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3emOAmlhhU) should make it’s purpose completely clear.

I just ran my animation through Nuke (autocropped with the bounding box) and re-imported it and AE did not like it, so maybe AE just isn’t made for it.

Ok but my character is moving all over the screen, so I need an animated bounding box, and I’m thinking basing it off the alpha channel would be the easiest thing for AE to calculate.

June 26, 2012 at 3:37 pm in reply to: Baking null object and parent properties into a layer

The reason behind my bizarre question is that I’m dealing with exporting motion paths from After Effects into other software. So I need the various layers of the character to have it’s movement baked into itself so it moves under it’s own power without being influenced by anything else, so that the motion of each layer translates properly.

Basically, I want to be able to animate my characters properly (with parenting and null objects), and then before saving it out making it so the motion of each layer gets baked into it’s own properties (position, rotation, and scale) so that it moves the way it’s supposed to, just without being parented to anything.

Thanks Dave. I understand the danger of working with too many keyframes. In this case I need each frame to be keyframed for a very specific purpose.
