Paul,

You are 100% correct. I have applied drop shadows to animated stills over a grey background. The drop shadow layer flashes a black and grey checkerboard pattern on both sides of the still, but mostly on the left side which has the drop shadow. I have tried GTX680, GTX570 and PNY k4000 video cards and always receive the same result.

If I turn off the CUDA the flashing stops but it takes a lot longer to work on the project. The flashes occur on the monitor and when rendered with the Graphics acceleration turned on.

I have turned off the CUDA and the flashes stop but all sorts of other problems occur. For example when my 4×3 video is not scaled to fill the frame the location of the video moves. Sometimes to the bottom right, sometime to the bottom and usually if that does not occur the video is rendered off center.

Also animated stills shimmer like the sun hitting calm water. These images should not look like the are in motion within the image.

I have 2 weeks to submit to a major film festival and don’t know how to fix this problem.

Also I tried CC and tried to import the project. It rejected all 1,500 MXF video clips. I am not assuming that CC fixes this problem. I do know that Adobe is not certifying any new graphics cards for CS6. They are only certifying new models of cards for CC.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
