What's hilarious was that the rest of the cast (minus John Hurt) was in the dark on how exactly it was supposed to go down:

Probably one of the greatest scenes in sci-fi horror, just because of the reactions alone.

Interesting. That's one thing I didn't try. I'll give that a shot later.

Hi, all,
So I was happily chugging along in Premiere Pro dynamically linked to After Effects for a demo reel I was working on. Everything is fine and it successfully renders the video as an MP4.
But I go to do a final check on the render and I get these strange glitches that happen every now and then. I've tried several ways of exporting (both alone via the Export command, and via Media Encoder). All give the same result. The only way I can get around it is if I use software rendering. Not a bad solution, but not ideal, either. This obviously wittles it down to the GPU, but why?
Example of a glitch:
Lower half has the glitch. It has elements of the previous frame(s) in the sequence.
Example of the glitch in motion (watch between 18 and 19 seconds; it's very quick):
As I mentioned, everything is absolutely fine (playback, effects, performance, etc.) up until checking out the final render. It's...weird. The only thing I can figure out is that during these "glitches," they seem to happen between clips on the Premiere Pro timeline that are up against each other, end-to-end. Again, they do not show up until viewing the actual export. Playback is not affected.
Some basic specs: Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900KF @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Pen support
Edition Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 OS build 22631.2715
Using an Intel Arc A380 (yes, I know it's not that big a powerhouse of a GPU, but it should handle things like this with aplomb; I am also aware that the CPU does not have an iGPU). I have tried the latest driver (101.4972), as well as the previous version. Both give the same result. Also using the latest versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects and Media Encoder. (All version 24.0.3.)
If anyone has any insight, I'm all ears. (Eyes?) 😄

Umm...
Anyhoo, it's not that much an issue, because Mercury 3D is trash. OpenCL works better on both my systems. (Also: LOL on "Mercury 3D composition renderer is a high-quality, performance-oriented 3D renderer.") Now if I can just figure out why the Cinema 4D renderer is suddenly causing me issues, we might get somewhere.
(It figures that just as I'm getting to know After Effects is when things go kablooey for unexplained reasons, as just a version ago it was working fine.)

I just recently updated to v. 23.6 myself and get this same exact warning, which is strange, since the version before it (23.5) was just fine (though it did things like "draft 3D"...poorly; pretty sure I'd prefer OpenCL anyway, since that's much faster). I confirmed this once more by going back to 23.5 briefly; I do not get the error. But once I update to 23.6 once more, the warning pops up once again.
This is on my rather meager laptop; haven't tried on my main system yet, but they both use Intel GPUs. (The laptop uses Xe; the desktop uses Arc.)
EDITED TO ADD: I've also tried different drivers from Intel; the latest (4577) to the version before it.(4575).

Everyone, look at Teddy a little closer; Teddy isn't exactly what you think it is. It being alone is probably a good thing. Maybe you don't want to cross its path.

It might be from one of the "Plants vs. Zombies" games, maybe? The artwork looks familiar from that series.

Other than the obvious (like changing angles, both for the softboxes and the camera), have you tried a polarizing filter?
