Flickering text after editing

[matheuswitt]

I have a project which I had to addapt to vertical video. But as I changed position and scale of the text, it started to flicker between it's new and old position and scale. It also happens if I disable or delete the text layer. I uploaded a video to exemplify to be more clear.

I already purged my data and restarted AE prefferences, I don't know what else to do, hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks!

Did you purge both the disk and memory cache? Can you share the project?

[matheuswitt]

Yes, I did! Here is the link to the project: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GfpcDPfcvaKGA5RmV102uB9gVGjfFulX&authuser=matheuswittkowski%40gmai...(footage is missing because it's a comissionated project, hope you can see the issue).

Is the text just Layer 60? If you solo that layer, does it still happen for you? 

[matheuswitt]

This error happens with several text layers on this project.

If I solo it the error stops.

I can't reproduce the issue on my machine, so either it sounds like a cache issue, or one of those footage layers (maybe layer 1 which appears to be a sequence of pngs I don't have?) still contains the content. I would try soloing each layer and make sure that each layer is ok.

The PNG sequence is a fill layer and the flickering was caused by the reference frames. Apparently, when i pre-comped the fill layer with the reference frames, the fill layer was placed in the bottom of the comp, being overlayed by the refference frames, cousing the flicker. Now I just found out that there's no need to keep the reference frames in the project 😅

Thank you very much for the support!

Actually the reference frames are still in the bottom of the pre-comp. What happens is that the fill layer does not render on the frames where there is a reference frame, causing the flicker to occur, as the reference frame was created with text layer on.
