Proportional alt-drag / stretch only works if you’re dragging the first or last selected keyframe. If you grab one in the middle of the selection, they will move together as you describe.

January 8, 2020 at 2:19 pm in reply to: Using STMaps to Undistort and Redistort in AE

Antony, I’m sorry but I don’t clearly understand the problem that you’re seeing.

If you’re working at 8bpc, you’ll definitely see artifacts in RE:Map. You have to work at 16bpc or 32bpc.

If you’re losing data at the edges, perhaps you need to do your intermediate work at the distortion-corrected frame size (which should be larger than the original/destination).

Can you post a sample undistort/re-distort ST-map you’re looking to work with?

I’d do it with an expression — move each layer a certain number of pixels per frame, and offset them horizontally using the layer index. I’d also use sliders to build controls to make it easily adjustable.

Here’s an example of these techniques in action:

Not that I can think of.

If I were doing this a lot in Ae, I’d probably build a LUT contact sheet comp that I could drop media into.

You’re working in the Timeline panel — reveal your comp in the project, then adjust its label in the Project panel as I mentioned above. If your Project panel doesn’t have a label column, right-click on any one of the column headers in the Project panel and check “Label.”

Yes, you can change the label color of comps — I use it all the time to keep organized.

Click the label color swatch for the comp in the Project panel to pull open the Label Group context menu.

Select your painted layer and press ‘PP’ — the P key, twice — to reveal all the paint strokes on the layer. Please also open your Paint panel, then post a screenshot showing both of those.

December 19, 2019 at 6:29 pm in reply to: Disable layers outside of camera FOV

Ae already does frustrum culling automatically — that is, not rendering layers outside the active viewport.

There are a few things that might cause Ae to try to render one of these layers. Perhaps you’re using it in a compound effect, or referencing it with an expression? Or perhaps you’re using multiple views (not just the active camera view)?

I’d suggest precomposing [link] heavier layers and using proxies to speed things along.
