External camera-sources - wrong size after comp reload

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?

Hi Joris!
Thanks for your response, it's good to know the issue is on the radar. For now I'll try some workarounds.
