    I have applied a small scale increase and rotation to a still image. After rendering the image the graphic plays back with what appears to be a flicker/speckles all over the place. What’s the deal? Does this a;ways happen?
    Images are B&W and sepia.

    This is almost always an indication of a bad file. The corruption could be in the original or it might be being introduced anywhere along the rendering path; in the read, the the processing or the write. If the specks are in the exact same place each time you view the effect, it’s happening upstream of the write. If they move, it’s in the read.

    Impossible to diagnose from here, it’s a binary search, though. Try setting your render scratch to a different drive. Try replacing the original file with a fresh copy. Try moving the original file to another drive.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    Also try doing a small blur (1 or 2 pixels) if these are hi-res images.

    Bogiesan,

    replaced image with new one, re-created move, re-rendered, and it happens again…Always! Now when I apply ONLY scale with no rotation, no speckles!

    Mmmmmmmmm…………………….
