External camera-sources - wrong size after comp reload

Post by flo »

Hi all!

I notice a strange behavoiur when I use my external camera sources in a composition. Arena (V 4.1.6 / 4.1.7) seems to save the information about the size of the clip I set in the transform parameters, but when I reopen the composition and activate the camera-clip, Arena resets the saved clip size to either the composition size or the default camera resolution.
I checked the avc file with a text editor and the clip size I set is stored there. Also when I open the composition and look at the clip settings my stored size is shown but when I activate the clip the values are resetting.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Florian

Yes, this is unfortunately a drawback of how we implemented capture sources. It's on the radar, but it might take a while before we get round to it.

Perhaps you can work around it by using the scale parameter to adjust the size, instead of width and height?
