    I have recently noticed that a problem i have had for years has suddenly got a lot worse..

    If i have more than one project open, and have several tabs on timeline, whenever i press Play the output to the broadcast monitor is fine, but the canvas window goes berserk rapidly flashing 4/5 random frames in a continuous loop.

    This used to happen only if i had a huge number of projects open and the ram was getting full, but i’ve noticed it happening recently (and this is a newer mac with more ram) with hardly any projects open, and with gigs of free ram.

    The only way to clear the problem is to close all open sequences, then re-open the one you want.

    Anyone got any idea whats going on?

    I’m running latest version of FCS with 10.5.6 on a MacPro 8core with 10gbs ram, usually 10bit uncomp timelines.

    Hi Adam,
    Try deleting the “Constant Frame” renders.
