hi Henry=C2=A0

its hard to know what ex= actly is going on without seeing your composition and inspecting the elemen= ts inside

collapse transformation is maybe the most= complex feature to predict in AE .
it really can change a lot of things since it affects all kinds of sit= uations besides transformations ( making the comp bigger without losing qua= lity).

what you should really do is change the siz= e withing the current comp and not pre-compose it i.e not use the snowflake= if it doesnt do the job.

one way of doing it is setting the comp to HD and attac= h everything to a null and resizing it.=C2=A0
another way is tryi= ng the built in script in after effects: file->scripts->scale composi= tion.

see if that works for you.

Hi Everybody,

I have a :30 spot that has always been in standard def. Now, I need to make= it into HD. There's a lot of type and Sure Target. After realizing tha= t True Comp Duplicator doesn't work on this I decided to bring the SD c= omp into an HD comp, resized it to 1080 and turned on collapse transformati= ons.

With the little snowflake turned on, the embedded comp doesn't advance = thru time... it's "stuck" on the first frame. With the snowfl= ake off, it plays fine but everything looks ratty.

Is this a bug, a feature or am I the first person ever to see this?
