I'm having an issue with cropping multiple layers in a single input.
Example: I have one input that's a background plate and another input that's my keyed green screen camera.
I create a blank input and stack the two other inputs as separate layers, so that the background plate appears behind my keyed footage.
If I crop the master layer, it only crops the camera input layer. But, I would expect it to crop the background layer as well.
To test this phenomenon even further, I created another blank input of the stacked layer input. Still, the crop effect only affects my camera layer.

I have done this in earlier versions of vMix without a problem, but this cropping behavior in the latest v27 of vMix (27.0.0.81) seems new and weird to me.

Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

vMix can do what you want using the Mix Input.

Here's Tim teaching about the Mix Input:

Here's me showing how to crop using the Mix Input: https://www.youtube.com/...HRZuCxNKoUptc&t=1268

Just stumbled on this thread while trying and failing to crop a greenscreen input with two layers, when in a layer in another input to create a sidebyside box layout.
The Mix input worked but seemed a bit overkill for this. Looked once more on the greenscreen input and found "flatten layers". Ticked it and booom now I can crop the input when in a layer!
Hopefully this can help others who run into this. /T
