Bounding Box is cutting off the effect

[Danny51]

So I didn't quite know how to phrase this, but when I add an effect to an object, the effect makes it move beyond the bounding box and everything outside of it gets cropped (as seen on the bottom edge in the gif)

How do I change it so the whole object is visible?

Since you don't need a ton more, I would just add the effect Grow Bounds above your Wave Warp (I presume) effect. Crank the "Pixels" value up until nothing is being cut off. Should do the trick!

It worked, thanks! But kinda seems like a work-around...isn't there a setting to make pixels outside the bounding box visible? Because I remember having the problem before but then clicked on something that fixed it, just can't remember what it was^^

In some cases, the little "sun" icon in the Switches column can solve issues like this. Depending on the context, that's either enabling "Continuous Rasterization," (when dealing with an imported Adobe Illustrator doc/layer) or "Collapse Transformations," (when dealing with a pre-composition). 

Without knowing more about what kind of layer you were working with here, the workaround seemed like the best suggestion. There are plenty of cases where that "workaround" is the totally-correct solution, too!

Well it did work so thanks again^^
The layer is a transparent PNG originally made in Photoshop, the sun icon is not available for that layer. But the growbounds option is fine, I can copypaste it to the other layers.

Thanks for this tip! I was working with imported Ai layers and also running into issues where the blur effect was getting cut off. Turning on the "sun" icon did the trick! Thanks so much!
