Oddly enough I get this on both my windows 7 workstation and my Retina Macbook Pro. Particularly when I click on Effects Presets for the first time since opening the project. The screen flickers a bit as it loads the presets and then once again all is normal. I'm tempted to see if AE does this if I take all the 3rd party plugins out (Element 3D, Trapcode, Etc.) but it's been merely a temporary annoyance so the motivation isn't there yet :)

Hello,

 

This is probably suited for Todd but if anyone else has experienced this, I appreciate the help.  I keep getting what I've been referring to as an epileptic fit with AE.  That seems the best way to describe it.  Every once in a while (too often) it just starts this spasming and flickering where I see all of the other windows showing through as it flickers.  I've never lost anything due to this but it goes for like a full minute or more sometimes before it stops.

 

Any thoughts on what could cause this?  I purge my memory probably way more than necessary, thinking that might help but it doesn't.

 

I'm running windows 8 and it's done it quite a bit and more so since the recent update to 8.1.

 

Any settings or anything that could cause this?

 

Thanks,

Eric
