After Effects user interface flickering

Hey everyone.

 

I've recently built a new pc and have installed After Effects. Unfortunately, whenever I hit play (even if the composition is empty), my entire screen flickers rapidly, including other apps that are open. It is more noticable in darker areas. I uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects, but that didn't help.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

I just had the same issue and for me it was that my monitor had AMD freesynk activated, had to disable it and it worked

Boring standard answer: Check your graphics driver and settings, check the hardware acceleration settings in AE. Really not much more to say than that, unsatisfying and annoying as it may be.

Hey, I have an update. This happens in Premiere Pro when I scrub through the timeline and in Photoshop when I zoom in, move around, or scale an image. I think it's a problem with all of the Adobe apps.
