The MB rule for comps, as well as, nested comps is simple to remember if yo=
u know/understand that MB settings are applicable to a comp, based on the t=
ransformations of layers that occur within the comp.=20

So, if you want to override the MB settings for a nested comp; using the MB=
 settings of the parent comp, you will click on the nested comp/layer's Con=
tinuously Rasterize switch. This brings all the Transforms from the child c=
omp (to be calculated together with the parent comp's Transforms) into the =
current/parent comp. Now that the child's transforms are effectively in the=
 parent comp, the child comp's MB result will be based on the parent comp's=
 MB settings.

Should you want to do a second instance of nesting with the child comp, the=
n repeat with the Continuously Rasterize routine. As long as you remember t=
his "The MB rule for comps, as well as, nested comps is simple to remember =

hould also know what the Continuously Rasterize switch does BUT that's the =
simple stuff that is generally known by not necessarily seasoned users.

Hey all=20


This has bugged me for years, and I cannot seem to find a solution. I typic=
ally end up with many nested comps that I need to change the shutter angle =
on after I have built and animated my show. I know if I was smart I'd make =
the adjustment BEFORE I do all the grunt work, but I aint that smart. I alw=
ays thought the top level comp dictated the setting for its nested comps. I=
 believe it still works that way for frame rate (?) and you can set a comp =
to preserve its frame rate thus over-riding the master setting.=20


Is there such a behaviour for shutter angle? Or is it as it seems to me tha=
t this is the normal behaviour. That is, shutter angle will always adhere t=
o the comps setting, regardless of where it is nested. Is there a way to se=
t a comps shutter angle based on its master?=20
