Too many effects?

Is it possible for a video to have too many effects? I have a video less than 5 minutes long; it has about 30 clips, each with multiple effects. When I export it, some (but not all) of the clips have inaccurate framing, as shown. Any ideas what’s going on?

    What are your media properties, project settings, and export settings?

    I can get the stats but to me the telling thing is that I've been using Elements 15 for about six months with the same settings and haven't had a problem. Even more telling, there's no problem with this video, if I take the effects out. So I'm not sure the settings would mean much.

    I'm a bit confused by that – didn't you mean that I should update the driver? I'm saying my driver is up-to-date so that's not the issue.

    As far as one effect being the problem, of the 30 or so clips, maybe 2 or 3 have some Contrast added, but almost all of them are Cropped. But I've used both Contrast and Cropping lots of other projects with no problem.

    In that case, try rolling it back.

    Have you tried my suggestion to remove some effects?
