Question

Text effects flickering on and off at the start

so i recently discovered this issue where my effects on the text would go on and off at the start. I already tried clearing cache, restarting my pc and reinstalling gpu drivers but it still flickers on and off. what's also weird is that i was able to make and export a video just fine without this issue a few hours ago. I am on after effects 2024 and I haven't tried it on after effects 2025. I attached a video below of what the flickering looks like.

Hi,

Thanks for the question. Does the same thing happen in a new comp with text using a different font. Let me know the results of that test. I hope we can help you.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Okay, so I created a new project with pretty much the same stuff and the flickering seemed to be gone so i guess it was fixed. but now It came back.

Is it happening in this specific project? Are you using any third-party plug-ins? Try importing your project into a new blank project.

Let us know if that helps.


Thanks,
Nishu
