The plugin evaluates and transforms elements regardless of whether displayed on screen. Out of viewport elements don't impact final export, but do require processing resources. Removing them will reduce rendering time.
🔍 How to identify
Unfold all layers in layer panel by holding down the Alt/Opt key and clicking the small "expand" triangle icon to the left of each top-level frame. Hover over each row in layer panel & check position on canvas relative to top-level frame.
Child layers: Will have dashed blue outline on canvas when selected.
Selected layer: Will have solid blue outline on canvas when selected.
✅ How to fix
In layer panel, select elements that are entirely out-of-viewport & press delete key.
✨ Smart Animate transitions
If using smart animate, check whether matching layers in sibling frames are also out-of-viewport. If not, make sure removal doesn't impact desired transition effect.
