Question

Main monitor flickering when using Premiere

Hi there,

 

I have used Premiere for a long time, but suddenly the entire program starts to flicker (from normal colour to a grey-ish) when on my main monitor. I have updated, reinstalled, restarted, etc. My monitor doesn't do this with any other programs, but when I drag Premiere over to a different monitor, the flickering disappears.

 

No other forum I can find online seems to help, nor do people seem to have this same issue. 

 

Specs:

AMD 5600X

RTX 3070

32GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
-for Premiere Pro (and MAYBE Premiere Elements) use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver
-such as (this MAY not be the latest) https://www.nvidia.in/Download/driverResults.aspx/177929/en-in
If you have a laptop you MAY also need to check for a laptop specific nVidia driver

 

There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version

Hi John,

 

Thanks for the response - turns out the culprit was G-Sync on my monitor. Turned it off, and no more flickering. Thanks again!
