Static noise glitches after media encoder render

Hi everyone,

For some time now, I've been experiencing annoying static glitches/artifacts in my Media Encoder exports. These glitches appear randomly on different frames.

I've already tried several troubleshooting steps, including:

  • Switching between Hardware and Software encoding.

  • Clearing all Media Cache and Disk Cache (both in AE and AME).

  • Ensuring my NVIDIA Studio Drivers are up to date.

Interestingly, the first one or two renders usually come out clean, but the glitches start appearing in subsequent queue items.

System Specs:

  • Laptop: Asus ProArt P16

  • GPU: RTX 5070 (8GB VRAM)

  • RAM: 64GB
