mogrt previewing and rendering with quivering text

[Roland Kahlenberg]

This is an intermittent issue and affects AE, PPro and rendering through AME. This may be related to cache issues and/or insufficient memory somewhere in the pipeline. 

Importantly, rendering from AME prevents the isssue about 90% to 95% of the time.  But when AME fails, it's a lot finicky trying to fix the issue. Changing property vals seems to give it a required kick to get back to expected results but even this is a trial and error routine.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas how to fix/workaround this?

Can you share a recording of the issue or share a project? Not really sure what the issue is / what you're expecting?

Thanks for the reply and looking into this. In the video below, the Quivering Issue starts at about 6:05 - look at the last letter "T"; last line.

This appears mostly on Text and Shape Layers - more so with Text Layers. It occurs across quite a few projects. And rendering from AME lessens its occurence - so hopefully this a good clue/idea.

Hi folks, is there any info, workarounds etc on this issue. It's really bad and quite impossible to work cos every preview just shakes so much I can't tell how things are moving.

Hi Roland, 

Thanks for sharing the screen recording. I can see the issue. Could you share the steps to recreate the issue? Or a file that could repeat the issue at our end?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu, the Quivering occurs after I make a change in the Comp and run a Preview. And it could be any change; text edit, property value - anything. This is why I believe this is cache related. PLUS, after purging cache, sometimes, the issue goes away.

Hello. I'm having a problem in After Effects with text layers "jittering" as shown in the video. It doesn't happen with every text and not with every render. IIt's like an additional animation that the program does, because when I do a frame-by-frame preview, I see this shaking at the appropriate moments. Does anyone know how to solve this bug?

I'm using After Effects version 24.0.0, but the same thing happens in After Effects 2022.

Haven't seen this issue. Does it happen in all the projects? Have you tried using the latest version? Does the problem persist in the new version? Please share a project file that repeats the issue on your end. Feel free to DM me the download link.

Note: Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,

@nishu_kush   It was only a few short weeks ago when I wrote on this issue, on Twitter. You replied and suggested I post in the Bug section here. 

How is it that you now say "Haven't seen this issue"?

This user has the EXACT same issue I reported. And after you suggested I post on the forum, neither you nor anyone else has replied. 

Other than disappearing, you now claim to not having seen/read/heard of this issue. Why???

[Roland Kahlenberg]

Clearing cache helps. Starting Previews after placing the Time Indicator at Time=0 helps. Rendering from AME helps. However, the issue still occurs intermittently.

My apologies for the miss @Roland Kahlenberg & @Макс34291354loza!

Your previous post about the issue completely slipped my mind. No worries, I'm on it now. I tried replicating the issue on my end, but everything seems to be working as expected. To help me get to the bottom of this, would you mind sharing a MOGRT file that triggers the problem for you?

Looking forward to your response.

I'll merge this thread with Roland's original post.

Thanks,

Nishu
