Grow Bounds Doesn’t Work
Does grown bounds not work with video layers?
I’m using shine on a Video layer that is 1080 X 1080 scaled down about half – which happens to be a texture CC Sphere. I took it and desaturated it – boosted the blacks and whites and applied a shine filter to it. Of course the rays are getting cut off but when I apply the grow bounds to the black and white layer it doesn’t work. I apply the Red Giant grow bounds – IT doesn’t work! Hmmm.

I found that using Grow Bounds set to a high number, applied before Shine in the layer stack worked. Like Dave’s solution.

I am doing the pre-comp now – and I understand that the solves an immediate issue. But Grow Bounds is useful because you can effect the layer right there instead of opening the comp to futz. I don’t get why it’s not working.

I tried that with an extreme number and on the top layer. No go.

If you look at the effects palette (the effects applied to the layer used as the texture for the sphere), here’s what I have, top-to-bottom:
CC sphere
Grow bounds
ShineIt’s one layer in one comp. AE 7.

I didn’t clarify. I had rendered out the CC Sphere into a vid. so now it’s just a square pixel 1080 X 1080 Animation codec vid. BUT! I also tried putting shine on a solid that was smaller than my comp and I put gow bounds on it and it STILL didn’t work.

Already tried. No go.

Yeah. Like I said. Twice before. 😉

Okay, Try doing what I did. One layer, one comp. Drag the footage into the comp, then apply Sphere, Grow Bounds, then Shine. If it doesn’t work, can you post a screengrab of the timeline, comp window and effects palette?

Standby – I’m in the middle of a render.
