Probably because AE is not a universal app. Adobe has stated it will not support a Universal app until the next rev of the app which will most likely be 2007.”

FALSE

You can do Universal Plug-ins without Adobe doing anything right now. An host does not need to know what Adobe will do, this only applied to the X-Code support (the Apple compiler) and how-to is publically available since After Effects 7 release on january 17 (so an host can turn off the CPM wrappers). So it’s ridiculous Apple crap! It’s half a day of work to support AE plugins in a macIntel compile.

In practice what happens internally is that on a setup as you describe you end up with black text on black which RSMB cannot deal with.

To sandwich it like this:
Invert Green
RSMB
Invert Green

would work

Also, for your information, with flat (no texture) large text, it might work better if the text motion is the same for all characters to use RSMB PRO without image tracking and use the Tracking Points in RSMB PRO to indicate the motion OR simply use SmoothKit Frame Accumulate then RSMB if the each character is animated separately.

Actually try the Directional Blur in SmoothKit with length and Blur amount cranked up, does pretty much that

You can probably simulate this effect by applying RSMB with a scale of 1 (https://www.revisionfx.com/mblur.htm ) in a nested sequence (that only means make a new sequence and drag the footage in it) and then put that nested sequence in your main sequence and do some temporal effect on that something that will average a few frames together.

You can’t use Boundary Shapes outside of an image.

As we answered in email from you (for the others), when you have such extreme change of scale (or large rotation for that matter), you are better to make a subcomp which resizes – transforms the image prior to applying RE:Flex. Maybe it would be nice if we could collect such transform but then AE does not have a transform per shape and there is no mechanism to add extra per spline parameters in AE right now so anything we would do would end up pretty obnoxious GUI wise, so the best idea for now seems to pre-transform the image in a subcomp keeping the image the layer the same size.

Do you use a Boundary shape?
If not search “Boundary” in manual
