      In what versions of SU do you observe this?

        I've only encountered this in sketchup make 2017 on windows 10, Driven tested it on a mac, same issue.

          Have you tested on older versions? Do you think this is a regression?
          I wonder if it's related to a regression where the aspect ratio overlay bars are drawn as solid black in SU2017.

            I wrote the panorama plugin in 2014, and never had this problem.

            Ok, I've just tested this.

            
            model=Sketchup.active_model
            view=model.active_view
            cam=view.camera            
            cam.aspect_ratio=1
            
            

            Yes, in SU2016 the bars were transparent. in SU2017, the bars are black. That's a regression? I don't remember the bars ever being black.
            I fail to see why this change would interfere with view.write_image
            Has anyone else reported this problem when exporting images? maybe with other aspect ratio?

              The bars were by default a transparent black. The color can actually be adjusted. But in SU2017 the transparency is ignored. (I haven't actually tried to see if it picks up custom colors...)

                the color can be adjusted? is there a command to do that? I can try and see.

                  I think it is one of the RenderingOptions.

                    Jim is correct, I don't recall exactly what it is, but you find it if you inspect the available keys.

                      Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["BandColor"] = (Sketchup;;Color.new(185,138,0,127))
                      
                      

                      this works in v16 but has no effect in v17 on my mac...

                        This is a cross post from our SketchUp Forum post

                        tl;dr - In addition to trying the work-arounds in this thread (only the resolution magic numbers worked) we discovered that turning off anti-aliasing eliminates the issue for any resolution - if you can accept the jaggies.

                        Hope that helps someone diagnose and fix the issue, or is a workaround for someone until the fix.
