Warp stabilizer doesn't work with collapse transformations

The Warp Stabilizer is a powerful feature in Adobe After Effects used to stabilize shaky footage, but sometimes it may not work as expected. One common issue users encounter with this effect is when they try to apply it on compositions that contain collapse transformations.

Collapse Transform Matrices (CTMs) are an essential tool in After Effects for simplifying complex layer hierarchies into a single transformable object. However, there seems to be a known compatibility problem between the Warp Stabilizer and these types of layers.

If you've encountered this issue where your mask doesn't work as expected after applying it on top of another composition that contains collapse transformations using the Warp Stabilistor any other stabilizing effect for that matter then here are some tips which might help resolve the situation:

1. Try duplicating the layer: Sometimes simply copying and pasting or duplicating the entire layer onto a new layer can solve these kinds of issues.

2. Remove all effects except for the warp stabilizer: This will allow you to isolate whether there's something else interfering with your effect working correctly.

3. Check if any other plugins are causing conflicts: It's always good practice to disable any third-party plug-ins when troubleshooting similar problems like this one!

4. If none of these solutions work, try updating Adobe After Effects and/or the Warp Stabilizer plugin itself – sometimes newer versions come with bug fixes that could solve your issue.

If you've tried all these steps but still encounter issues using the warp stabilizer on compositions containing collapse transformations then maybe consider asking for further assistance from either fellow video editors or even reaching out directly to Adobe's customer support team via their official contact page. They'll be more than happy to help troubleshoot any technical difficulties you're experiencing while working with this powerful motion graphics toolset!
