 Good morning, afternoon, evening. I have a question in regards to Dynamic Link. I'm a small YouTuber focusing primarily on gaming. When recording my videos, I record in 3840x1080, so that when editing, I can make my template 1920x1080 and duplicate the file and use one for my face cam and the other as my screen recording via cropping. This works well, until it's time to add effects in After Effects via Dynamic Link. When After Effects imports my video, the part that I cropped out reappears. Could anyone give me any insight as to why this is happening. Thank you in advance!

Hi @devin_the_5736,

Thanks for the message. It looks a little odd from your screenshots. It's as if the main shot on V1 shoots up and to the right. Can you try constructing your Picutre in Picture effect using the Scale and Position controls rather than the ones from the Transform effect. That could be the issue. I hope we can help you. Sorry for the hassle.

 

Thanks,

Kevin
