Hasta La Motion!

I’ve got a solid track working in AE after tracking it in boujou. My issue is when I parent my object layer to a tracking null, and make it 3D, I then have to rescale it down an enormous amount (say down to 5% or lower) to resize it correctly.

I know this is standard procedure, though now working with the layer becomes much touchier and more sensitive to manipulation. Also using any particle systems is problematic since the normal particle sizes are so huge, scaled down all the way still leaves them too big.

I’ve worked around this somewhat effectively with pre-comps and pre-renders, and have tried several workarounds with little success.

Can anyone give me the step I am missing, or what I can do to work better with this issue?

Thanks!
