Hi all,

Got a bit of a strange problem, a random blue circle has appeared on my work and i have no idea why it's there, when i go into the precomp and watch the clip there it disappears which is strange. please see image below

My system is as follows

xeon E3-1240 V5

Qaudro P2000

32GB DDR4 RAM

I have tried clearing the memory and resetting preference and changing turning off cuda acceleration to no avail

Thank you for any help

    Start on the top layer and solo layers one at a time until the blue dot appears. When you see it make sure that layer is identified and selected and then press uu to reveal all modified properties. Start resetting the most suspicious properties first until the dot goes away, then let us know what you find. If this is not a cache problem then it's a problem with a layer somewhere.

    I'll bet you used a blue dot in a recent project.

    Here's what you do: go Edit>Purge>All Memory & Disk Cache.

    The dot should disappear.

    Switch off and on every layer and see, if the dot disappears. It has to be somewhere...

    Ok so very weirdly enough anything below half resolution has the dot there so I haven't got the foggiest as to what is going on.

    Maybe it's an indicator from some effect to show you, that you are below full resolution?
