I will try it but I’m not sure if Smart Blur will leave the sharp foreground objects completely alone, if I’m correct? It’d be nice it it just operated on the blurry areas. I’ll try it anyway. Thanks!

December 12, 2012 at 1:45 am in reply to: puppet tool causing unwanted transparency

I thought of a neat trick tonight to solve this dotted line nuisance. This problem seems prevalant among layers with nested puppet tools. It also happens with video files to me.

I don’t bother with splitting up layers. I just duplicate my layer and move it a few pixels in a direction. This will hide that white jagged edge nicely!

I know this is a fast dirty method of correction but my animations are quick and cheap anyway. I have an old laptop.

I’d like to know what really causes that tear with the puppet tools. Anyone know?

This is the one I ended up figuring out:

startScale = thisComp.height/height*100
endScale = 100
scaleUpTime =4

s = ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+scaleUpTime,startScale,endScale);
[s,s]

I’m learning quickly on Google there are many ways to accomplish expressions in After Effects lol.

I love this! Such a neat and tidy zoom!

thanks jan and roland! i figured it had something to do with proxies! it’s just been a long time since i saw a lynda.com training video explaining how to use them.. and you saved me lots of time having to skim through all my training videos trying to find the answer to this. Thanks again for helping out the community here!
