Hi, everyone.

I have a question regarding to Shifter which is sample plugin. (I think other plugins have same issue too.)

It is cropped if I move layer outside of render area.

I am not sure why params[0]->u.ld is cropped when moving outside of render area. How can I get full original layer which is not cropped even though I move the layer outside of render area?

Please check screenshot and video.

and if all that fails, then during pre-render do a custom checkout of the

layer, with a corresponding checkout during smart render. (instead of

checking-in the input pixels)

that should return the full input size (post effects and masks, as opposed

to the old fashioned CHECKOUT_LAYER macro).

after effects is trying to optimize the render flow, and crops inputs to an

increment of (i think) 10% of the visible image, so "out of comp" pixels

need not get processed.

i don't remember exactly how i worked around this issue in the past...

try:

1. setting preserve_rgb_of_zero_alpha during PreRender.

2. try declaring PF_OutFlag2_REVEALS_ZERO_ALPHA during global setup.

3. during PreRender, try declaring the requested rectangles as the layer

size.
