Flickering Bug After Effects

[arnar?_?]

Okay, so I have a huge problem that I've been trying to fix for days, whenever I click on anything inside of my project the whole screen just flickers and when I use effects, it flickers, basically just when I do anything, it flickers like crazy, even when I'm previewing. There's a video attached to this post where you can see the problem, I really hope someone can help me🙏

Hi there, sorry to hear about the issue. Please share the following details so that we can understand the issue better:

1. What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)?

2. What's the version of After Effects?

3. Are there multiple monitors that are connected to your computer?

A few things to try:

1. Ensure to update your GPU drive to the latest.

2. Run After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and see if that brings any change.

Let me know. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Nishu

One of the first things you should do is disable hardware acceleration in After Effects. Go to Edit > Preferences > Display and uncheck Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels. Restarting After Effects after making this change might resolve the issue. In my case it did.

Another factor to consider is your monitor's refresh rate. If it's set too high or too low, it can cause visual instability. Try setting it to a standard rate like 60Hz in your display settings and see if the flickering stops.

Features like AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC can interfere with After Effects, causing display glitches. If you're using one of these technologies, try disabling it in your monitor's settings or in your GPU's control panel.
