Intrinsic Crop: Render Order

Please change render order of Intrinsic Crop. It should operate the same as putting the "Crop" effect on as the first effect on a clip. Here is what the render order should be.

  • Intrinsic Crop > Other Effects > Motion 

 

Why?

Crop is normally the first effect applied. Other graphic adjustments are then made: transforms, blurs, glows, shadows, rounded corners, etc.

 

Anytime I want to add other effects, Intrinsic Crop becomes useless (Nesting the clip as a workaround sucks).

 

As it stands, 90% of the time I start with Intrinsic Crop and then have to switch to the Crop effect and redo the crop.

 

Main Example

Crop > Transform is one of the most common effect stacks.

  • Transform effect allows Motion Blur (Motion > Position does not)
  • Try using Intrinsic Crop and then using a Transform effect. Currently, the entire effect stack renders and then the Intrinsic Crop is applied.
  • In other words, the image moves INSIDE the crop.

 

This same argument applies for Drop Shadows, Glows, Rounded Corners, etc.
