Question

AE Plugins shakes on resize

I`ve found that on AAE CC 2017 Version 14.2.0.198 (2017.2 Release) we are having strange shakes when any plugin`s window is resized.

By shake I mean quick changes of height and width +- few pixels of the plugin content. After window resized, all the strange effects stops. But during resize shaking is realy anoying.

While on the other machine where Version 14.0.1.5 (2017.0 Release) is installed, all same plugins works just as they should, absolutely smoothly without any shakes.

Settings are default on both machines.

Is it something wrong with web renderer of 14.2.x version? Or it is about some settings?

Can somebody help with this?

Thanks, beforehand!

    Update.

    We`ve installed on both machine latest Version 14.2.1.34 of Adobe After Effect CC 2017, and still one machine has those lags (shakes), while another works fine.

    Seems it is about system settings. Maybe it depends on some graphics driver.

    Investigation continues...

    By "plugin window" you mean UI Panels?

    It doesn`t metter whether the plugin window is pined to the main layout or is floating as a separate window. The shake-lag is reprocuing in both cases.

    Talking about other tabs, they behave similarly on both machines. They works NOT smootly, but similarly laggy on both machines. Rendering is not managed with high performance, and tabs responds with some timeout. On plugin resize shake are quite different, they looks like some overhead is managed, like on a single size change it makes 5 renderings with different sizes.

    And additionaly plugin (extension) shakes and lags even on the empty AAE, without project imported. So there`s nothing loaded in the AAE, and it works so badly on one machine, and perfectly on another. The difference in behaviour is huge!


    What happens if you turn off the "Hardware Accelerate...panels" option in preferences?
