Adobe says it is the GPU which I do tend to agree.

Adobe support is about as useful as a fart in a bathtub.

I tried approaching them about this problem.

Got absolutely nowhere other than going round in circles of random guesses with someone based in “that part of the world where customer service goes to die”.

Does this mean High Sierra won’t work with any of my external spinning disks? That would be a nogo. Or just that the installation needs to be working on an SSD?
I hate having to buy hardware to work with fashionable software.

Sheesh. I don’t know where people get so much FUD from, let alone why people love Apple bashing without any facts to back it up.

Of COURSE High Sierra works with spinning disks. Of COURSE APFS works with spinning disks.

Sheesh.

James (and fellow forum members ????)

I have had a bite on the line I left dangling in the Adobe forums.

The suggestion was to change engine from OpenGL to something else.

I switched from OpenGL to Metal and the flickering disappeared.

Which I’m obviously happy about because I can finally complete my work. YAY ! ????

But it does leave me with a problem in that Metal is obviously slower to render than OpenGL.

Plus surely OpenGL should be supported on the Radeon chipsets (Radeon Pro 560 4 GB) that feature in the latest MacBook Pro’s ?

Thanks for the words of support James !

I’ve posted the same question over on the Adobe Premiere forums too, but no bites on that line either. ;-(

So at the moment I’m just stuck with a bunch of files, nicely edited and ready to go and pretty much left to twiddling my thumbs having experimented (in a controlled manner) with every config parameter I could think of.

I don’t think its a hardware problem with the C300 used, because I’ve had no problems with a couple of 1k clips shot on the same camera before 4k was enabled.

Its just weird. I’m starting to think perhaps its not me but some weird bug ? But then surely someone else either here or on the Adobe forum would have already piped up “yeah, I’ve seen that one“.
