Problem summary
Adding a paint effect on a panel in Avid will cause it to be pillarboxed
Customer reported version
flix_6.4.1
Customer reported platform
windows10
Steps to reproduce
1)Create a show in 1.85 aspect ratio and add 3 blank panels to it
2)Publish the sequence revision created in step 1) and import it into a 1.77 Avid project
3)Add a paint effect to one of the panels and export an AAF
4) Import the AAF from step 3 back in Flix
5) Add a dialogue to one of the panels so you can version up the sequence revision (this step might not be needed)
6) Publish the sequence revision again to Avid
Expected behaviour
Panels should come with letterboxing (because of the aspect ratio mismatch between Avid & Flix) with Burn in on top
Actual behaviour
The original publish to Avid (step 2) works as expected creating a single letterbox and burn-in around the panel to fit the Avid aspect ratio. But additional publishes of that panel create additional letterboxing and burn-in - pillarboxing
Workaround
Uuse the _new AAF file as it doesn't contain a copy of the ref file and it doesn't add additional letterboxing on it.
