That would be my solution.

Check the Quicktime 7.4 thread at the top of the forum.

Signature or font, it’s the same technique.
There is no information contained within a font or typeface that allows us to write it on any other way. That would be nice, but face it, the biggest buyers of fonts (print designers) don’t need to write them on.
We AE folk have to approach the type as a graphic, manually using the write-on effect, or drawing masks and applying the Stroke effect … as indicated in the various tutorials. No shortcut, sorry.

Hm. I don’t Shatter much, but Googling “shatter map” and “clean” led to this link, among others:

Hm. I think that losing the shadow casting or rasterizing the vectors is the only workaround right now. Regarding the lost time due to the rasterization, we might have to admit that time is being lost looking for another solution …? 🙂
Anyway, there’s another workaround if you need to have the shadows. I’m not sure how you’re set up, but you could figure out a way to make shadows on a plain subject by filling the subject with white, then rendering the shadows on the white subject. Then you import that render, and lay it over the normal object in multiply mode, with no shadow-casting on (to avoid the bad lines). The downside is, you have to do it over again if camera/subject/lighting changes. It’s a thought.

My response was aimed toward Chris, not you, Mike. To whom was yours aimed?

Did you try disabling OpenGL in the Prefs? Nobody here uses it anyway.

You can’t create a parent/child link if both layers are not directly accessible in the comp. If you don’t see the layer in the parent drop down, you can’t do it.
You could use Expressions, possibly. Try separating the timeline tabs for the two comps, and drag the pickwhip from one property for one layer to the relevant property in the other layer … if that will do what you want. It might not.
Anybody else?
