  • Strange flickering lines in Premiere…

    Hi!

    I have noticed the last five days that the image, often when displayed on a larger part of the screen in Premiere tends to “flicker”.. It is hard to explain it and I have tried to film the screen but it dosen’t show that well.

    Basically it flickers over a part of the screen as if that part doesn’t have the same FPS as the rest of the clip and it lags. This happens much more if there is a lot of movement in the video, then I get some really nasty lines that lags and flickers. And it’s like this all over the screen all the time. It gets really annoying.

    I noticed today that the same thing happens outside Premiere also, on Vimeo clips and YouTube, same thing goes with clips via VLC and Media player.

    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall all my Nvidia drivers and flash drivers, doesn’t help at all.

    Any suggestions where I should start in order to fix it?

    I´ve been fighting for almost a week with similar problem. Ii was something like if vertical sync of monitor was not working fine. Horizontal lines going down-up as if the image was showing half of one frame and half of the next. It happened basically in most shots with quick movements or flashing lights.

    Well, in my case, i had the aero themes in W7 disabled since i installed W7 for the first time, just to have more visual performance. I set a grey desktop with all aero options disabled.
    When this annoying issue began to bother me a lot, i started changing update frecuencies of monitor, playing around with all the screen options in W7, set my monitors to the defaults, downgraded to older nvidia drivers, and played with all the nvidia control pannel options finding no solution at all. Annoying issue. It happened even in VLC player, but not in Window media player.

    At the end, i solved it SETTING AN AERO THEME in my W7! Disabling visual effects for better performance was more harmful than helpul.
    Now the problem has totally gone. Have a try to see if it helps you.

    Regards
