    Would you clear the cache when you render it every time?

    Hi eyal_yariv8002, sorry to hear about the issue.


    I am not aware of any bug with such symptoms, but green pixel artifacts in renders are often a GPU releated. Could you share a bit more so we can help?

    1. Your exact AE version, and NVIDIA driver version (Studio or Game Ready).

    2. What source codec are you working with (H.264, HEVC, ProRes, etc.)?

    3. Do the artifacts appear in the Composition viewer too, or only in the final render?

    4. A screenshot or short clip showing the artifacts would help a lot.

    In the meantime, update your GPU driver if you haven't already and test.

    Let me know how it goes.


    Thanks,

    Nishu

    Thanks for the response‭.‬

    ‭- ‬AE version 2026

    ‭- ‬NVIDIA driver version Studio

    ‭- ‬the artifacts appear in the Composition viewer

    The video card and processor were recently replaced‭, ‬with the same model that was in the computer's original specifications‭, ‬but‭ ‬new‭.‬

    Thanks for the screenshot and other details. Please try the following: 

    1. Go to File > Project Settings > Video Rendering and Effects > Use, and switch from Mercury GPU Acceleration to Mercury Software Only. Restart playback. If the green artifacts disappear, that confirms it's the GPU path.
    2. If that’s the case, clean reinstall the NVIDIA driver. Even though it's a Studio driver, a fresh install after a hardware swap can resolve odd artifacts.
    3. Could you also share the exact Studio driver version number after the clean install? And does the issue happen on a brand new empty project, or only in your current one?

    Looking forward.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu
