Brian,

After reading yours, I thought THAT is going to be the fix.  It didn't work but I think I know the problem.  It was an easy enough shot that I manually tracked with just a mask so there are no corner pins.

So, to recap, I took my layer, which is just a solid.  This one does NOT have the shine and that probably doesn't matter anyway.

So, I removed my mask keyframes, along with effects applied, then applied the effects first, then the corner pins back.  It remains the same.

Now, I am not even sure I can make it work at all with this setup.

Eric

I THINK you just have an effect-stacking issue here. If you apply your Fractal Noise first, then apply the corner pins, then apply Shine, it should all work fine. It does here, no pre-comping required.
 
However, if you apply the fractal noise after the geometry is transformed, the noise is relative to the comp, not the layer. Switch the stacking order around and see if that fixes it for you.

And, that didn't work.  I precomped my solid, then added the effect...no go.

It's definitely a solid.  I have a solid that I am using as a background, with the fractal noise on, then a separate solid with the Shine effect on.

With regard to the "precomp it" response.  It might just be procedural, but I had tried precomping my solid and it still moves.  Maybe you mean before I add the noise.  Hmm, let me try that. :)

Any chance you accidentally enabled the "adjustment layer" button?

Hello,

I've added a fractal noise to a solid, with Trapcode Shine then added (not that this is important), and when I animate the solid to move around to the scene, the fractal noise remains in place which sort of ruins the effect.

Basically, I have a screen replacement for a laptop with camera movement. The solid the replaces the screen and is tracked for the movement.

Any idea how to get this fractal noise to stick to the solid for the same movement?  Here is a still.



Thanks,
Eric
