1. Re: Order of effects
Steven L. Gotz Aug 4, 2013 6:35 PM (in response to Howard Hoffman)Premiere Pro renders Fixed effects after any Standard effects that are applied to the clip. Standard effects are rendered in the order in which they appear, from the top down.
So, in your case, scaling actually does take place after the other effects. If you wanted it the other way, then there would be a problem. Not a huge problem because instead of using Motion you could use Transform, which is just another Standard Effect which renders in order of its placement.

2. Re: Order of effects
Howard Hoffman Aug 4, 2013 6:44 PM (in response to Steven L. Gotz)This a bit puzzling. I am using a software stablizer, which has an option to auto-fill the border with some color. Source is 720p and sequence is 1080i. Motion has scale set at 150%.
This result in black border. If motion is applied last, I'd expect the video has proper filled border. Or maybe the motion does not take the result from the other effects.

3. Re: Order of effects
Steven L. Gotz Aug 4, 2013 6:53 PM (in response to Howard Hoffman)i am not at all sure I understand.
You are saying that the source, which is 720p and has a black border around it to fill up the 1080p frame, or some other color border, is scaled up with Motion and it doesn't get bigger?
Edit: Perhaps third party effects render last? Try Transform instead.

4. Re: Order of effects
Howard Hoffman Aug 4, 2013 6:58 PM (in response to Steven L. Gotz)Source 720p
Sequence 1080i
Without image stablizer, set motion scale at 150%. It fills the screen properly.
Turn on image stablizer. Normally, on 1080i source, the stablizer crops the image to "stablize" and fill the border with some surrounding color. With motion scale at 150% on 720 source, the border is now just black color. The auto-fill is not there any more.
To work around: create a 720p sequence, scale at 100%, apply stablizer. Then add this 720p sequence to 1080i sequence, set scale at 150%. The border has proper surrounding color.
