Re: 3d+shadows+motion blur = moire pattern

Thanks, I've tried 8/16/32 forgot to mention that

I'm not sure what you meant by transcoding the footage - they are just shape layers. and even reducing the resolution by 50% actually makes the problem worse.

I'm wondering if its a shape layer issue as they seem to be treated like a solid with a mask applied - perhaps the 3d engine is calculating the full size of the "solid" and getting confused. Like I said i've had the same kind of trouble with overlapping footage on the same z plane before.

hopefully later on today i'll try something with nested comps instead of shape layers - i cant just precompose everything because all the attributes go in the child comp and it throws everything off.
