Dear Adobe-Team:

What is this??

https://vimeo.com/246243945

Using Premiere Pro 2018 and our Thumbnails and Waveforms are constantly flickering/flashing.

Handling Premiere during this behavior is almost impossible, UI becomes quite unresponsive.

This behaviour starts and stops spontaneously.

Sometimes zooming wildly in and out helps, sometimes we have to restart the machine etc.

Hi S-L Cutter,

Please try updating Premiere Pro.

Thanks,

Dear Adobe,

Any chance the next update might address this problem?

I could spend a day troubleshooting the steps outlined here but I just don't believe it would solve the problem. I have PP running on half a dozen systems and all of them demonstrate this behaviour. Restarting the program helps, but it does come back. It's a very frustrating bug that I'm surprised hasn't been addressed as yet.

Best wishes,

Anthony

I am having this same same issue with Premiere Pro 2018 (version 12.1.1), I have experienced a few strange errors with my sequences. Just now, while playing an effects-heavy sequence, the audio channels/files in my sequence started flashing uncontrollably - and then even when I stop playing the video, they continued flashing. I took a video of the error to help better explain this:

I am worried that something is wrong with my project and would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer - can someone from Premiere answer this/ any of the above questions?

Up until my latest project, 2018 has been very stable but now I also am getting the flashing waveform. It seems fine for a while and the starts, restarting fixes it temporally. Perhaps some sort of memory leak?
