Photo overlay causing underlying layers to "jump" or shift upward

Report · Mar 28, 2021

Running into a weird issue in Premiere this morning. I have several video & adjustment layers (v1-3), then an AE animation (v4), all below a couple of JPG photos (v5). When the v5 photos are faded in (or just toggled on/off directly, as in the GIF below), you can see the underlying layer (v1-4) "jump" upward several pixels. These layers are all pretty straightforward, and there shouldn't be any inter-relation here—ie, they're all very much independent of each other. When v5 is hidden, the issue goes away.

This sure feels like a bug to me, but wanted to see if anyone else had run into this or had a workaround.

Also very possible that I'm missing something obvious. 🙂 TIA for any assistance!

Quick update. Hiding the AE animation (v4) seems to resolve the issue, and in fact the root issue seems to be with that layer.

When toggling off v4, I'm seeing a jump "back to normal" on v1-3, but then v1-3 & v5 (the video layers + JPG photos) work fine without jumping. So the AE animation must be causing some funkiness, here. Which is still odd/buggy, just caused by a different piece of the puzzle than I expected.
