ID 495347 - The first rendered frame is incorrect when an animated Transform node is upstream of a VectorDistort node and rendered in terminal or in the GUI with frame server.

Problem summary
The first rendered frame is incorrect when an animated Transform node is upstream of a VectorDistort node and rendered in terminal or in the GUI with frame server.

Customer reported version
Nuke 13.0v5

Customer reported platform
centos7

Steps to reproduce
1) In Nuke, add a Colorwheel and Transform node.
2) Add a Scale or Rotation animation to the Transform node.
3) Create a VectorDistort node downstream of the Transform node.
4) Add a SmartVector to the input of the VectorDistort.
5) Create a Write node and add a file path to render.
6) Open the Command Prompt/Terminal and render the script.
7) In Nuke, read in the exported files and observe the first frame compared to the rest.

​

Expected behavior
All frames should render correctly.

Actual behavior
The first frame rendered is incorrect when executed from the command line. The first 5-8 frames are incorrect if rendering from GUI with the frame server knob enabled in the render settings.

Workaround
Rendering from the GUI allows all frames to appear correctly.
