animated-.glb's flicker when animated

[Anne-Lise_Saxo]

Hello,

I am having issues exporting a file with many animated glb-files in it. The objects are flickering and we just can't fix it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi there! Are you seeing this issue during preview, on export, or both? 

[Anne-Lise_Saxo]

Hi there, on both!

Hi. We'll figure this out. It looks like your GLBs are flickering between a placeholder (which we display temporarily) and the actual model. What Ae beta build are you using?

[Anne-Lise_Saxo]

Hi,

Great, thanks a lot! We are working with the latest update of AE and Media Encoder on Mac Os.

[Tom Olsen]

Would it be possible for you to share the Ae project and media? We believe that we understand the underlying issue, but want to make sure that any fix we make addresses the problem adequately.

Hi again, thanks. Here are the files – I can only send a link as I cannot upload more than 47mb. Hope it's fine! https://we.tl/t-4iQfmMIYIo 
Thanks a lot for your help!

We're debugging the issues currently. Will get back to you when we know more.

[Tom Olsen]

Still debugging. We've made some progress.

[Anne-Lise_Saxo]

Nice, let us know if you get to debug this issue, we're still very interested in working this out.

Several things that you can try (in the interim)...

• eliminate nesting of 3D models inside precomps (where collapse transforms are turned off)
• eliminate use of track mattes with 3D models
• reduce the number of 3D models in your scene (try this last).

Just a quick update to say we're still looking into this and haven't forgotten about you! 🙂

[Anne-Lise_Saxo]

Thanks for your latest update! How far are you on this one? 

[VictoriaNece]

We think we've made some good progress here. Can you download the latest beta and give it a try?

[Tom Olsen]

Hi, Anne-Lisa. Do you have any update on this issue? We want to make sure that it's fixed. 

Thanks,

Tom

Hello, no unfortunately we still have issues with flickering glbs in after effect.. also with latest versions of beta and the new AE-2024..

All the best,

Anne-Lise

Hi, Anne-Lise.
Question: Are you exporting with Adobe Media Encoder?
One possible reason for flickering is because we had a bug where we were momentarily showing placeholders during export. I introduced a fix in Ae 24.1 Build 57 or later. You don't have access to this build because it hasn't been posted yet (only Build 56 is available). Please give this scenario a try with Build 57 or later, and let me know if it addresses the problem. Thanks!

As she said, have the same problem even in preview.

Maybe can share the problematic project again? I want to try to help testing some solutions.. i already have loooong experience by solving ae problems myself.

Hi. Just checking in to see how this is going. We've made a bunch of stability fixes over the past couple months.
