Found while working on #2003. It is wrong on main too, with no Motion Tile involved.

What was wrong

With a Region of Interest or the Extended Viewer on, the CPU canvas holds only the region. An adjustment layer's effect stack therefore saw only that part of the comp below, so the region showed pixels the full frame doesn't:

  • A Transform that scales the comp down pulled in transparency where the full frame has content.
  • A blur next to the region's edge blurred against transparency.
  • Auto Levels measured its statistics on the region instead of the frame.

In the Extended Viewer the stack also took in layers lying past the frame, and a Transform pulled them into the frame. A render never shows them there.

Regions are CPU-only (walk::render declines them), so the change is in the CPU compositor only.

Change

  • Renderer::comp_frame_cpu: a region that does not already hold the frame, over an adjustment layer with an enabled effect, now renders the frame with the region around it and crops.
    • Inside the frame, this renders the whole frame on any backend, as 3D comps with a region already do.
    • Past the frame, the region grows just enough to hold the frame.
  • Renderer::draw_adjustment: under a region that holds the whole frame, the stack gets the comp frame below and nothing past it, as in a render. Its result then goes back onto the canvas by offset.
  • Comps without such an adjustment layer render as before. Regions keep their speed-up there.

Tests (render/tests_roi.rs)

  • roi_over_an_adjustment_layer_equals_the_full_frame: Transform (scale 50 %), Gaussian Blur, Auto Levels and Invert adjustments. Regions at the frame's corner, in its middle, and at half resolution all equal the cropped full frame.
  • extended_region_over_an_adjustment_layer: the frame part of an Extended Viewer region equals the full frame. A solid lying past the frame shows unadjusted and is not pulled in.
  • Both fail on main (the Transform case first).
  • cargo test for render, gpu and ui-egui passes, and clippy -D warnings and fmt are clean.

Note

The Extended Viewer/ROI hunk in draw_adjustment also maps a stack result whose frame changed back onto the canvas. #2003 does the same for Motion Tile's Output size, so whichever merges second has a small conflict in that function, with the same intent on both sides.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved rendering for adjustment effects such as blur, distortion, color correction, and inversion when applied to regions of interest.
    • Corrected out-of-frame region rendering so enabled adjustments receive the necessary surrounding image content.
    • Improved consistency between full-frame and cropped renders across supported resolutions.
    • Ensured content outside an adjustment region remains rendered without unintended adjustments.

…pixels

With a Region of Interest or the Extended Viewer, the canvas holds only the
region, so an adjustment layer's stack saw just that part of the comp below:
a Transform scaling it down, a blur near the region's edge or Auto Levels
gave pixels the full frame doesn't. Past the frame, the stack also took in
layers lying off the frame and a Transform pulled them into it.

- comp_frame_cpu: a region over an adjustment layer with effects renders the
  frame with the region around it and crops (inside the frame: the whole
  frame, on any backend, as 3D comps already do).
- draw_adjustment: under a region holding the whole frame the stack gets the
  comp frame below and nothing past it, as in a render, and its result goes
  back onto the canvas by offset.

Tests: region and Extended Viewer over Transform, Gaussian Blur, Auto Levels
and Invert adjustments equal the full frame; past the frame the layers show
unadjusted.

📝 Walkthrough

ROI rendering now expands regions to include the comp frame when enabled adjustment effects need those pixels. Adjustment input and output buffers are aligned and cropped for ROI rendering. Tests cover multiple effects, render scales, and extended regions.

Changes: Adjustment Effects in ROI Renders

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare ROI regions for adjustment effects
crates/render/src/lib.rs
The renderer detects enabled adjustment effects and expands out-of-frame ROI regions to include the comp frame.
Align adjustment buffers and verify ROI output
crates/render/src/lib.rs, crates/render/src/tests_roi.rs
Adjustment effects receive frame-sized input when the ROI contains the comp frame. Tests compare ROI renders with full-frame crops and check adjusted comp pixels, unadjusted out-of-frame content, and transparent pasteboard pixels.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: echelon

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8bb7e

The change fixes adjustment layers under ROI and Extended Viewer renders, but some cases can still render wrong pixels. These are a wider adjustment over pasteboard content, a collapsed precomp containing an adjustment layer, and a zero-sized ROI. Fix these before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8bb7e

The change preserves existing access boundaries, but extreme region coordinates can prevent rendering from terminating and potentially stop the rendering worker or application. Exposure to an unauthorized caller has not been established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: The new ROI expansion can recurse without progress for extreme coordinates, defeating render failure containment. For a 160-by-120 2D composition with an enabled adjustment effect, raw ROI [-1e308, 0, 0, 100] expands to approximately [-1e308, 0, 1e308, 120]. Its right endpoint rounds to zero, so the frame-containment predicate remains false and the same expansion repeats. The call preserves depth and never reaches the later depth guard. The base instead ignored this non-positive-width ROI. This can exhaust the render stack; unauthorized access to the raw-options path remains unestablished.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified failure is scoped to the process or worker executing the render. The inspected worker holds a project replica and invokes the same renderer; no cross-tenant, privileged-service, or broader deployment exposure is established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller controlling raw RenderOpts can supply coordinates that make expansion repeat indefinitely when an adjustment effect is present. This supports the availability concern, but an independently unauthorized actor able to submit such options has not been demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The frame-server render path checks project revision and composition existence before rendering. It forwards supplied options without ROI numeric validation. These existing checks establish request consistency, not protection against malformed rendering coordinates.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The normal adjustment path keeps intermediate images owned and local. Missing source input returns before compositing, and aligned output is checked before destination pixels are modified; the new path does not publish a partial composition through a shared output buffer.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — A bounded expansion transition with explicit progress verification and a defined failure result would prevent numeric edge cases from consuming the render stack. Centralized ROI validation could apply consistently to direct and serialized callers.

Preserve the nonpositive-ROI fallback.

If r[2] or r[3] is zero, this branch can run before roi_offset() rejects the ROI. It returns a one-pixel crop instead of the full frame. Apply the same positive-size check before expanding the ROI.

Do not use nested-comp bounds to crop the parent canvas.

When a collapsed precomp draws into the top-level canvas, self.top remains true but ctx.comp is the nested comp. A parent ROI of 100×80 can therefore satisfy roi_holds_frame for an 80×60 nested comp. This branch passes only the parent canvas’s top-left 80×60 pixels to the effect. Pixels under a translated nested adjustment footprint can then disappear. Limit this frame-crop path to the comp that owns the top-level canvas, or map nested-comp bounds through the collapsed transform.

Keep pasteboard pixels outside the effect input.

If an adjustment footprint extends beyond the comp frame, this crop pads the frame-sized effect result with transparent pixels. The later footprint blend then replaces visible pasteboard content with that transparency. For example, a wider adjustment solid over the out-of-frame yellow layer loses the yellow pixels under its footprint, even with a per-pixel effect. Keep the existing canvas pixels outside the frame when aligning the result. Image::crop supplies transparent padding, not the existing pixels. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Hi @ded-achtung, thanks for this PR! main has changed a lot since it was opened, and it now conflicts with main, so it needs a rebase before we can review it for merging.

Most of the conflict comes from the shared module layout (#2491), which moved or split files this PR touches:

  • crates/render/src/lib.rs was split: most of its code is now in pipeline.rs and siblings
  • crates/render/src/tests_roi.rs → crates/render/src/tests/roi.rs

When you rebase, please also make sure it fits the other recent changes:

CI (cargo xtask ci) now runs on PRs. Once it's green on the rebased branch, we'll take a look. Thank you!
