Why adding any number of shutter angle in the transform effect cause to unpredictable changes in scale and position?

    I'm not sure exactly what you're doing; that sounds odd.

    I can tell you that I never use the transform effect. It's always been horribly buggy for me, leading to crashes and render errors.

    you may find it easier and more stable to do this kind of motion animation in After Effects.

    It works only when the sequence on which you apply the preset is the same size with your working sequence. It is a bug of PP.

    PP is very buggy when you do something a bit more complicated. AE does not use GPU during export, that leads to 5 hour rendering for me instead of 3 minutes for PP for the same project.

    I dont think we can call this a bug, i recently created 50 presets which

    are too complicated, you have to take into consideration that when you

    create presets for a full hd image, those presets work properly on images

    and footage that are full hd, smaller and larger resolutions like 4k wont

    have a properly working preset designed on a full hd sequence. So, when you

    import an image or video that is not 1920x1080 you will have to set it to a

    frame size of a 1920x1080 sequence and nest it, then apply the preset on

    the nested sequence. That is the proper way of working with presets.. and

    the preset you sent me works great on my full hd nested image workflow

    do you have any other effects than the transform ?

    are you applying it on a text layer, an image or a nested clip ?

    did you turn off 'use composition shutter angle ? tried changing the sampling ?

    can you screenshot your workflow ?

    try to nest your clip and apply transform, does the same happen ?

    It is a picture with no other effects on it. Use composition shutter angle is unchecked.

    To reproduce this error:

    1. Grab any picture to the timeline, then grab transform effect to it.
    2. Uncheck Use composition shutter angle and change shutter angle to 180.
    3. Changing scale of the transform effect from 100 to 0 moves the picture to the upper left corner. Scaling up from 100 to inf moves it to down right corner.

    right click on your image, click on 'Nest'

    apply the transform effect with shutter 180 deg and use composition shutter angle switched off

    it worked for me

    if you do not nest it, it scales unproperly
