UI bugs in AE and Premiere?
In all of my Adobe video apps, I am getting a strange “bounce” for a lack of a better term, for the entire UI. I just recently reinstalled my system on a new HD, for speed and discovered this problem.
I don’t have any UI changing apps installed, like windowblinds.
When i’m running AE, it looks ok at first, but as soon as I open a new composition and the video preview begins, there is a small 2-5 pixel box that keeps appearing in the upper left, above all the other elements, with a line in it. This box appears then dissappears, which makes the entire UI jump down and right, then return. If i am in a menu when this occurs, it closes the menu. As you might imagine this is extremely frustrating.
I’m going to go through my startup apps now, but if anyone has experienced this, please let me know.

I have a feeling the 7.0.1 update might fix this problem in AE? Not sure, I don’t get the prob, but I know there has been some UI improvements made in theupdate. Try it..d/load from Adobe site.

I have installed the patch and the problem remains.

How about your make a screen capture of your screen so we can “see” what you’re talking about?

I don’t think i have nearly the skills to catch that in motion. It’s just a little bar a few pixels wide, that pops in for a split second. I don’t have the reflexes. I could maybe make a mockup in photoshop, but here’s a detailed description.
At the top of the UI, underneath the menu bar, there is a tab for projects, etc, in the normal layout. Right above this tab, a tiny line is drawn for a moment, adjusting the ui down and to the right by 3 pixels or so, then it goes away, and the ui redraws back to the upper left.
I have no idea how to capture that fast enough.

Thanks for the help. I don’t want to use camtasia, just because of the monster file it would be if I jacked the framerate up to a rate fast enough to catch that movement.
I’ll get with Adobe.
Thanks again!

If you’re merely concerned about the file size of the captured movie, you might want to download a demo of the program, you’ll see that the captured files are not that big. And if the final movie is larger than you want, you can compress it.
Just helping.

Hello Tracy,
It does sound very un-usual and I have never came across this. What are you system specs? Are you running 64 Bit version of Windows?
Thanks,
Leo

I was able to get a screenshot. Please pay attention to the extra dotted vertical line and the extra one pixel horizontal line kindof wedged into the UI under the menu bar and over the tool bar.
It flashes in for just a second and then bumps everything down and right. THen it bumps back up to the left when it dissappears. FRUSTRATING.
