‌Scenario 2: Lens Distortion Solved, But Not Yet Applied

A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.

What it means:

 Lens distortion was solved and appears in the Lens panel.

 The Lens Workflow has not been run.

 The Image Preprocessor does not contain distortion correction.

 The project still works with distorted imagery.

Export options:

 None : Exports data with original distortion.

 Undistorted (1) : Temporarily undistorts and crops the image to original frame size. This may trim off distorted edges, potentially cutting off important elements near the borders.

 Redistorted (2) : Undistorts the image into a larger overscan frame (preserving all image content), and applies the original distortion to CG in post. Suitable for pipelines where distortion must be restored before final delivery.

Tip: In pipelines like Blender-to-Nuke, Redistorted (2) is often preferred. It ensures CG aligns with the original plate, avoids edge cropping, and allows distortion to be re-applied cleanly using exported ST-maps or distortion nodes.
