OMG, the info about it not working on the continuously rasterized layers was JUST WHAT I NEEDED!! I have been building something recently, and I too was trying to use the warp on a layer to improve the S&S. While it sooooort of worked, then in the final composition that precomp was showing completely CRAZY MOVES!! I had no idea that it was the CR toggle that caused that. Thank goodness for all the great knowledge spread here for free!
Damn man, this is why people need to watch these videos of the pros, no one else out there has got any video of this on CZcams. All of them are about either free ae script or free plugin & blah blah blah what else not. A big hat's off to you Sir
Hey Jake, great tutorial. The formula for maintaining the shape's area/volume is really inaccurate though. For example, if you had a square 10 units by 10 units it has an original area of 100. The way you've set things up, if the width is reduced to 50% (5 units) the height would become 150% (15 units) making the total area 75 (5 x 15). This means you've lost a quarter of the shape's area. This problem compounds as the scale value moves further away from 100% in either direction. At 10% width (1 unit) the height would be 190% (19 units) for a total area of 20 units. At that point, a full 80% of the shape's area has disappeared. The accurate way to maintain the shape's area is to set the width to the original width (100%) times the original height (100%) divided by the new height... so: width=10,000/height.
Thank you! These School of Motion videos are such a mixed bag... Having endured Joey's reckless teaching of bad habits, wasteful techniques, and use of the word "okay" at the end of every sentence, this comes as a breath of fresh air.
Wow. I am really surprised to read this comment. Joey and the School of Motion team have been instrumental in my career and work tirelessly to help motion designers and the industry as a whole. I have learnt more than I have ever learnt through School of Motion tutorials and courses.
Wow, you rock!!! Maybe it's not so complicated (for me it is) but you made it look simple. The preset thing is useful as hell! Thanks . PD your voice and pace is really outstanding. \m/
.. Have tried precomping cropped vector shape layers as well as type layers then adding warp effect to precomp. Precomping does not seem to solve the offset problem with warp effect. I see this video is 5 yrs old. Does this method of precomping not work anymore?
Would love to know how you copied & pasted warp effect from solid layer to Vector precomp. Tried dragging (does not work). Cannot copy via command+c. And when I apply warp by just adding it to the precomp, it has the same distorted look as if I hadn't pre-comped at all. What am I missing??
Sadly I cant access the squash and stretch project files as I only get a partial download when going to the school of motion site. Please can you advise? Thanks.
I have a problem with expressions: var sHeight = effect("Transform")("Scale Height"); linear(sHeight,0,200,50-50); - they doesn`t work. The program says, that project contains an expression error. What should I do?
I tried to do it with a 3D extruded shape but warp effect didnt work so i used element 3D and i managed to do it perfectly with same expressions thank you ^_^ but still it would be lovely to see a tutorial on 3D squash and Stretch!!

I attended Jake's class on skillshare and it was life changing or career changing!
The dude is a pro. You should check out his new Photoshop and Illustrator Course at SoM: www.schoolofmotion.com/photoshop-illustrator-unleashed
Thanks Jake, there's not a useless minute on this video. Explanations worth every second of viewing.

👍🏻
One of the best tutorials I've ever watched! Thanks so much for putting this together.
To maintain the same volume in a 2D shape, the result of : {width * height} must be always the same. Not the {width + height}.
Yep,
I always use width!=0 ? 10000/width : 0;
The expressions are so small for me to read. Is it maybe possible to get them in to the description?
Thank you so much. :)
this video is pure gold
Legendary tips! thanks Jake

this is the best tutorial that i have ever seen on youtube.... this is such a snack thank you
loving the school of motion
Great tutotial man! Really helpful, now it's much easier to work with a such type of animations. Thank you so much!
thank you so much for creating this tutorial
Extremely useful and well done!
Mind blown, thanks for the amazing tutorial!
Awesome tutorial! You explain it so well and it's so easy to understand :) Thank you very much
Thank You school of motion could please make your course little less expensive it would be great.
very helpful! thank you!
That was really helpful. Thank you so much!

Great tutorial
The maintain equals 200, I never knew about that :')
And this is a very useful tutorial, save a lot time. Great video mate *sob
Yes, such a useful technique when animating. Cheers!
Thanks a lot

en español seria:
var sAltura = effect("Transformar")("Altura de la escala");
linear(sAltura,0,200,50,-50);
I would love to have access to this files! But they are gone! the file is corrupted.
Hi ! I have bezier warp and mesh warp but not just warp so I lack your axis parameters... How do I find it ?
Sadly I cant access the squash and stretch project files as I only get a partial download when going to the school of motion site. Please can you advise? Thanks.
I have a problem with expressions: var sHeight = effect("Transform")("Scale Height");
linear(sHeight,0,200,50-50); - they doesn`t work. The program says, that project contains an expression error. What should I do?
Just remove var and start with sHeight. It might fix the problem.
You're missing a comma in the linear expression between the values "50" and "-50".
@@craveleaks8102 had the same problem and i think this fixed it, thanks!!
does this work in 3D space too?!
The principles would be the same on a z-axis, but if the camera has rotation you will obviously run into some awkward 2.5D problems.
I tried to do it with a 3D extruded shape but warp effect didnt work so i used element 3D and i managed to do it perfectly with same expressions thank you ^_^ but still it would be lovely to see a tutorial on 3D squash and Stretch!!
Do you purposely give the wrong files on your website !?
This is Da)
You don't show your shortcuts so it's difficult of us to follow what your are doing ?
Dope Mate, but my dyslexia gives the tutorial an extra angle ☺
