Okay, so I have a huge problem that I've been trying to fix for days, whenever I click on anything inside of my project the whole screen just flickers and when I use effects, it flickers, basically just when I do anything, it flickers like crazy, even when I'm previewing. There's a video attached to this post where you can see the problem, I really hope someone can help me🙏

    It's odd because it works fine on my laptop but it doesn't work on my friend's beefier desktop...

      Still having the problem. Updated to latest version of AE. I have the same driver as Reed Scriven listed previously and it is up-to-date. V24 works without the issue.

      If folks are still having this issue, I'd like to try to figure out if it's a few different issues or just one. 

       

      1. If you have footage that is flickering to black frames, please make sure you've upgraded to 25.3.2, then purge your disk cache, and then see if the problem persists. The latest version of AE has a fix for black frames showing up where footage should be.

       

      2. If this is related to your comp panel itself flickering, not the footage, that is more likely related to a change to use a different display library with 25.* builds. That is very much related to your GPU and GPU Driver, so if you're seeing that, please make sure you're as up to date as possible on the GPU driver. If you have multiple GPUs (integrated and dedicated), try disabling the integrated driver and see if that helps.

       

      As you report any feedback, please help by indicating which issue you're seeing. Thanks!

        It seems that for now, your only solution is to go back to version 2024.

        Yes, it seems to be a 2025 bug as it wasn't happening before

        Yes, if your project was created in 2025 version, you can't open it in older version unless you save to older version in 2025...

        Nothing seems to be working yet. I'm hoping they can fix it in some future update soon. For now I deal with the flickering while editing. At least everything is fine once rendered.
