Grrrrr,
I was to hasty….Im going to post this just in case someone reads this
I should of used the value of (index/25)-1/25 As I only wanted to subtract one frame…not one whole second. I forgot it works as 1=A second…
Im sure I will never forget that ever again….yea right

Ahhh I see now…When I typed index it was coming up always on layer 1 as holding on frame 26 which i thought weird, but as im working in pal 25fps it would make sense now thanks to your good self, (I count from 1 not 0 in my compositions hence 26) I guess this is one of those gotchas.. ( and not a RTFM I hope :-P)
Right I get it now. I ended up with the expression (index/25)-1 ,this gives me the same value as the index of the layer with the timeremapping.
Thank you 😀 I hoped someone would reply this evening many thanks!

Definatly take a read here if your going to be wanting a far more stable experience in after effect on an intel mac

Are you using vector paint as your paint tool? If so I would suggest selecting options on the effects panel of vector paint and making sure “Use High Res. Coordinates” is ticked this works for me 😀

Just thought I would mention a few resources to go with the slice method (number2) as it is a novel idea and some people have pushed it to the limits in the world of flash programing…maybe someone might do something similar in aftereffects…Least moving the camera around would not be such a pain.
one quote : –
“Slice 2D to Create an Extra DimensionSuppose you are slicing an apple parallel to the core. If the slices are cut really thin, you end up with many 2D cross sections. By stacking them in the order they existed in the original apple, you can re-create a 3D apple.
This hack works on the same principle: create a lot of 2D slices of an object, then move them as if they were stacked together in the original object. If done properly, the result looks like it is a 3D shape that has volume. ” (https://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Flash/Flash-Hacks-Simulate-3D-and-Add-a-Vector-Edge-to-a-Bitmap/)
and also ….
Some examples of 3d shapes made using the idea of the slice engine can be found at https://www.arseiam.com/3d_frames.htm
Of which the coder has a book on flash which explains the working method he uses to create the slices, kinda fun reading if you can get a copy from your library or from a friend thats into programing 😛 . His site is well worth exploring a little, there are many wonderful things there to doodle and play with.a little of topic but might make useful reading 😀

Seems Intel mac users are having some problems, but Graham has a suggested fix…this link might be for you… -

just as a thought of how you would position the masks,
If you have alot of footage that is being cut together or different clips being worked on that all to have this POV, you might want to do the magnifying part on an adjustment layer so you can fiddle with the other pieces of footage below to your hearts content and not worry about them all having the magnify effect on each individual clip.
