Animate transform of sequence and adjustment layer

new ae - trying use rescue time lapse footage taken in dusty conditions. lots of sensor dust

 

so far

 

• exported sequence tiff's lr
• imported tiff sequence in ae
• created "new comp selection"
• set comp 1080p24
• on footage layer - scaled down 46% see image
• added adjustment layer
• added small ellipse masks on each dust spot adjustment layer
• feathered masks 10px
• applied dust , scratches filter adjustment layer , set radius 30

 

this looks nice. it's worked 6 sequences far.

 

what want false pan or zoom using different parts of image - after - tiff sequence far larger 1080p.

 

i tried creating new comp - embedding original comp layer , keyframed position , scale of layer. gives me effect want , holds footage , adjustment layer transform in sync - - i'm seeing poorer quality scale closer.

 

i suspect if applied scaling original footage layer in original comp i'd not see degredation (in other words - instead of scaling outer comp 100% 130% reckon should scale footage layer in inner comp 46% 80% or so). more flexible move across image position transform rather scaling.

 

but can't quite see how scale , position adjustment layer in sync masked ellipses stay on dust spots on time.

 

i'd thought manually apply same transform both layers - footage layer starts @ 46% scale - adjustment @ 100% (looks it'd work position tho).

 

would glad if point me in right direction

you have turn on "collapse transformations" switch embedded comp (the sun icon). aware have enter higher values "dust , scratches" filter since it's applied original scale of image.
