Render & Replace with Object mask -> Resulting footage has offset Alpha

Steps to reproduce: 

  1. Add footage to timeline
  2. Animate footage position
  3. Add Object Mask
  4. “Render+replace” as Cineform 12Bit+Alpha
  5. Resulting footage has offset Alpha
    before render & replace
     
    rendered & replaced footage with offset alpha


    I think, the position-animation is not being considered at rendertime.
    Please fix and invest in better QA.

    Hi ​@pablo__0231 
    Can you share the media and the project file with the object mask applied? It would help us greatly to see exactly what you have on your end. Do you know if the object mask is set to clip or frame? 
    Here to help.

    As a workaround, can you try setting the Source to Individual Clips in the Render and Replace dialog?

    What kind of animation did you apply?

    Is render and replace correct when not animating the footage?

     

    Some time ago a reported something similar with warp stabilizer, object mask and render and replace on the beta forum. Engineer stated this was a known issue.

    Hi ​@Ann Bens
    Two position-keyframes, so quite a simple animation.

    In my view, that the whole point of “Render & Replace”: 

    • Add various effects and animations to a clip
    • bake all that live effects down via render&replace
    • Performant timeline without live effects

    So Render&Replace needs to be aware of everything going on with a clip.
