The Sapphire plug-ins use their own GPU acceleration, so the most likely answer is that something there is not working right or conflicting with AE's hardware acceleration. Therefore start by checking the settings and update your system's graphics driver if necessary. Also check the effects themselves. Could well be that you just need to load a different Sapphire preset in there.

Hi,

So i am currently about to sleep but i just wanted to say that uts not just s_ effects that mess up its all the effects. Like it can be any effect preset.

Hi Rextron26356649z27h,

Sorry for your issue.

Is it happening with any native effect? Please check if there are any updates available for the plug-in.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hello,

So if i add any native effect it just acts normal. If i add an effect, the effect gets added and all the effect controls work fine.

Fair enough. I would second Nishu's suggestion of checking for updates. Other than that I'd stick with my initial reply - these may simply be hardware acceleration issues/ conflicts with the third-party plug-ins. Those, too, would perhaps in part be fixed by updated versions, but I'd definitely check their system requirements pages and delve into the configuration options. For Sapphire e.g. you can still completely turn off GPU functions by setting the options in the effects editor or manually editing their config file.
