I just confirmed your results on my build 511 too using the Sony Invert FX. Did you report this to Sony yet?

The new build 511 makes it worse. Now even the flipped image is messed up, but everything looks fine when you turn off the GPU Video Processing option.
The Pan/Crop dialog is for the preview frame on the right. notice the area selected for the crop and the resulting preview. It is offset and magnified. It matches the crop area exactly when I turn off the GPU. The image on the right used to work with the previous build of SVP 11.

Here is another workaround where you do not have to disable GPU. In the track motion where you set the placement of the frame on the screen, try flipping that horizontally and then use the Pan/Crop event FX to flip it back again to cause the border to work correctly and having the image properly aligned.
The border feature of cookie cutter also works, but seems to be limited to the ratios of rectangular shapes it supports.

I went ahead and opened an incident, #111216-000040, and referred to this thread for details.

As far as I can tell the Preference option is for Video Processing for the preview. If I turn that off, I can render with the GPU which is buried under the Customize Template screen as encode mode.
If I set to automatic it took 3s to render. If I set it to CPU only it took 6s to render. I tried both combinations a couple times and the results were consistent. So even through the Video Processing preference is off, you can still get the speed up on the renders.
I tried turning on the Video Processing preference where it showed the border messed up again and tried rendering. The result matched the preview…messed up border. I think we both have enough information to give Sony reproduce the problem. Just for make certain, I reproduced it with my own videos too.

I was looking in Preferences for something that would be different than in the veg file. I noticed from a previous test, that I had GPU acceleration of Video Processing turned off. When I set it to the NVidia GTX570, I then get the results you show.
At least we know it is not just your system.

Looks good on my system.

I think you mean the Audio and/or Video Bus Track. They appear below the other tracks in the timeline. You toggle them with B or CTRL-SHIFT-B (audio and video respectively). They should show up on the View menu too, at least in SVP 11.

I tried adding a border to a child video track that had motion from the parent. I then cropped the child video and the border worked as expected. I would be willing to load up a test project you created just to help you verify if it happens on my system.

I did not notice the problem, but I only had a single track of video. In one of the Sony tutorials they explained that in SVP 11 Pan/Crop is now shown in the FX chain. It is possible that the Pan/Crop is being performed in a different sequence between SVP 10 and SVP 11. In your screenshot in SVP 11 you can see that the Pan/Crop FX appears first at the top of the FX dialog from left to right (occurs before the Border FX). You can change the order of the FX to see if that helps or makes things worse. I’m not sure that would explain when you flip the video horizontally and then the borders have the effect you wanted.
