Objects with drop shadow and/or outer glow pixelated after moving in Illustrator CC

A video I have has two objects, one without any effects and the other with drop shadow and outer glow applied. After moving the objects, the effects one becomes pixelated. I checked my Raster Effects settings and is set high, with anti-alias. This was occuring in my main document, so I decided to make a new one with only these objects, but it still occurs. Any ideas? This has been a recurring issue on other projects I've been working on. I'm using ver. 29.4 on an M4 Silicon Macbook Pro.

Hi @nmycps,

Thank you for reporting the issue. We have a new Illustrator release (29.5). Could you please update to the latest version and let us know if the problem continues?

We're happy to assist you further.

Thank you for replying Harshika. I've updated to 29.5 and could still replicate the pixelation issue as I described above. So I'll hope that it will be something to be further addressed in future updates.

Hello @nmycps,

Thanks for confirming. Could you check if this pixelation appears in your exports as well, confirm if you are using a large canvas, and let me know if this happens when you're zoomed in to the canvas so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
