Scaling Confusion

[user_deleted]

Why when i scale an image to make it much smaller do all consequent nodes always appear to be the same size as the original node prior to the scaling?

for example - i scale a logo down to 0.1 its original size...if i then apply a Move2d with some rotation and panning, the Move2d node will appear to be far larger than the now shrunk graphic, and also the graphic will no longer be central within the node.

Is this something that can be altered for personal preference or do i just have to live with it?

crop it?

This is all part of the "infinite workspace" that Shake has and just node based compositing. It doesn't get rid of any information. So when your moving and scaling the node takes effect from where in the tree it is. If you want the move2d center and scale and such in the right place, just add another move2d node farther down the tree.

If you use a 'zoom' node instead of 'scale' node you won't have this problem.

Yes,

1) If you use either Resize -or- Zoom -or- Fit for scalling (here you dont have to use scale node seperatly).... then if you apply move2D you will Get the controls in the smaller size.

2) If you use Crop, Viewport, Window - you have to first use scale node and use any of these three, then if you apply move2d you get smaller controls.

In all the above cases, all six nodes will move your scalled input to the left bottom corner. ( if you composite this manipulated image with the original image you can understand. )

pls let me know
