    So recently my Region of interest broke….

    Let me explain, for quite a while I have been setting up all of my renders to render to a region of interest. I had problems at first but figured out how to make it ALWAYS work. (simply having the comp open when you set the render options virtualy guarantees it will work)

    In any case. suddenly in this project when I turn on the ROI in the comp viewer layers get displaced?? It’s very strange since they really have no reason to. Mostly this is happening with Trapcode 3D stroke layers. Anybody else seen this? is there a fix?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I’m just speculating, since I don’t know exactly what you’re seeing, but…

    Consider that using the region of interest when you’re previewing restricts the rendering of the composition to only a subset of the frame. It’s not a simple cropping operation (which would be a post-render step). So, some plug-ins may behave differently if you’re giving them a smaller part of the composition frame to use as input. Trapcode 3D Stroke may be one such plug-in.

    This doesn’t mean that the region of interest is broken; it means that the plug-in doesn’t deal as… um… intelligently with the region of interest constraint as it could.

    Like I said, I don’t know that this is what’s happening in your case, but it surely does sound familiar.

    Thanks Todd, I may buy that except I have five similar comps, all relatively doing the same thing in different parts of the screen (all 3-d Strokes on masks)some of these comps work, some don’t. So it seems to me that something must be different about each comp, but I can’t figure out what….

    Now I have real problems. ALL of my region of interests have disappeared! So I load about a dozen old projects and found that all fo the ROI’s ar gone too??? I trashed the prefs, restarted the pc, and still ROI’s are all gone…..Any thoughts?
