Add-on Overscan Addon
Overscan Addon

Adds Overscan to your renders.
Add-on by eknath-kambagiri
About What's New Reviews Version History
Overscan_Addon viewport preview Overscan by pixel values Overscan by percentage Overscan_Addon nuke preview

Overscan Addon

The Overscan Addon is built for professional VFX workflows, making it easy to add overscan to your renders with independent control for Left, Right, Top, and Bottom, a clear UI, and a live viewport preview toggle.

Overscan can be applied using pixel values or percentages, making it flexible across different resolutions and workflows.

After Rendering, overscan values will be written directly into EXR metadata. so when the render is loaded in nuke, nuke reads those overscan values and set bounding box accordingly without using any reformat node.


What's New

This add-on works quite well in my workflow (comic, manga..). There's just this one error i kept getting is every time i open the profile file, the add-on is enabled but it didn't automatically apply to the camera, it only apply the overscan when i disable and enable the Overscan Preview button

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you found it usefull. i have modified the code to make sure the overscan is being applied to the camera everytime the file is loaded.

I really like main concept - with preview but I miss some feautures:

  1. having vertical sliders would be more powerful, because you can click and drag all of them in one moment and change values to all of them
  2. checkbox for global disable / enable overscan.

Cheers :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Glad you found it usefull. I've added global toggle for enable/disable overscan. and also did some UI tweaks to make things feel a bit more intuitive.

Cheers, and thanks again for the suggestions!
