Export Text Layer Flickering
Animated text flickers when exported. I am using Adobe After Effects (Beta) version 26.3
I have 7 different text layers appearing in this animation, when I export it the text that is on the top of the screen flicker. I am exporting these and uploading the export to a Premiere Pro project and that’s where I first noticed the flicker.
I tried exporting it in .mov and h.264 but both of those are giving me the same result. And when I open the export outside of Premiere Pro I still see the word flickering.
At first the word that was flickering was the “HOME”, but once I exported a couple different times not changing anything about the export settings, then the word “HOME” stopped flickering and the word “THE” started to flicker. Now I can’t export without one of those words flickering.
I’ve added a link for reference:
Also just wanted to mention this isn’t the first time I have this issue. I’ve had this issue in different projects that had a text layer involved. In past projects the first export turns out perfect, but when I have to go back and change something minor and export again the issue appears.
To reproduce this:
- Create multiple text layers (with 2 distinct fonts, one thin and one bold)
- Create different position keyframes (some words going left to right, others going down), make sure the bolder text layer starts to show as its going through the thinner text layers)
- Create opacity keyframes
- Add Artlist.io drop shadow
- Change the drop shadow color to white
I FOUND THE ISSUE:
The arlist.io drop shadow effect was creating this issue. I exported without the effect and the export turned out perfect!
