Boris red 5 paint and particle system malfunction

[Peter Mcauley]

Hi,

What happens as you drag through the timeline … do more particles appear?

Please feel free to send me the RED settings project (without media) and I’ll take a look at it. You can send that to me at peterm@borisfx.com.

Thanks,

Peter.

Hi Eddo,

I’ve responded to you privately about this but so that we can help others in the Creative Cow community who may encounter this issue, here’s a description of the problem and the solution:

• Problem:
a paint layer, used as a production foundry layer in the particle system filter within RED was unexpectedly being clipped horizontally and did not span the full size of the comp

Solution:
• the paint filter needed to have a media track in order to work as a Production Boundary layer
• first create a new layer / track, then nest the paint track onto the face of this layer. Then use the new layer as the Production Boundary.

Cheers,

Peter.
