    If nothing works, you can use CC repetile with set to "none" instead of grow bounds. But I do not have issue with deep glow 2 and croped borders.. Even when set very big radius. Tested on text, shape and precomp. Everything ok without any adjustment of bnounding box.

    I don't have grow bounds in my after effects, how do I install it and be able to use it?

    Maybe it will help you. Add After grow bounds add “solid composite” but set the composite’s opacity to 0%.

      Grow bounds just stopped working.. AE 24 shows me that effects is missing. And there is also strange, that the missing one is 8bpc and if I try to add effect it is 16/32bpc. But replacing missing effect does nothing..

        I do not see any problems with the Grow Bounds/Deep Glow combination. Try adding a mask to the layer. Is the footage layer a nested comp? Without seeing the timeline with all modified properties showing I can't be of much help.

        I don't own Deep Glow because I have other 3rd party glow effects that I like better, but here it is with a PNG file. Works just fine. The X comes from the unlicensed plugin.

        Check the GPU settings in Project Settings. Shift + Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + K will get you there instantly.

          This usually how I do it, but like I said for some reason it just doesn't work like it used to. There could be settings I changed? I'm still trying to make it work.

          Hey David,

          I'm moving this thread to the Discussions section to collect more information. Please let us know if you're using a rasterized or vector layer. If it's a vector layer, have you enabled the continuously rasterize option? What happens if you pre-compose the layer and add the effect on the composition? Does that work for you?

           

          Thanks,

          Ishan

            It's a png file. It does work if I precomp it but this method(grow bounds + deep glow) used to work before. There are times when I don't want to precomp a certain layer.

            Could you share the PNG file here or through a private message so I can test it? Do you also see this with vector layers?
