V11 Videos Flickering

[rmstevens]

I have a PTE session file, created in V11, that contains video clips. If I use it on PTE version 10.5 it runs fine.

If I use the same session file on my 11.0.18 build 3 version the videos flicker.

I have compared all the setting on both versions and see no difference.

If I publish it as a mp4 file in V11, the flickering disappears.

Any suggestions how to resolve please.

The latest version is 11.0.18

Are you running on desktop or laptop. If laptop make sure you are plugged in, not battery.

Are you Mac or Windows.

How large is the video file.

Jill,

Running on new Dell desktop. Win 11 version. Graphics Card - Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770.

Video files typically 60M. Using PTE 11.0.18.

No other applications running in background.

What is your Graphics card? How much VRam

Does it have dual Graphics ie also an intel chip.

If so then make sure PTE is using the main Graphics Card

What is your Monitor Resolution

What Resolution & Frame Rate is the video

I have never had flickering, only some occasional stuttering when using a very large 1.5 GB video that I was taking 5 secs clips from.

But if everything is ok in the final MP4 then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Maybe if you are only using a small portion of the video then try Converting/Triming it first

Please explain why I have no problem using V10.5 but I do using V11.  Incidentally I have re installed V11.

I don't know if it could be the same problem, but the same thing happened to me too and it seems to have been solved by touching the NVIDIA control panel settings with these adjustments, I don't know what graphics card you use, but in case it's the same problem, the flickering was only in preview when creating the .mp4 file it disappeared

Hi Roger,

If I understood rightly, you observe this problem only in a full screen Preview and in the Mini Player (in the main window). Right?

Try to restart Windows to check if it helps to solve this issue.

1. Please can you describe in more details - what exactly you see? Is it skipping frames during video clip playback (choppy playback)? Or some flickering on the monitor?

2. Do you add video clips at HD 1080p quality, or 4K UltraHD?

3. Try to open the Sample Project, included with PTE AV Studio. Browse the Main menu > Help > Open Sample Project.
3rd slide contains a video clip with a slow motion (a pelican bird). Do you see the same issue on this slide in this project?

4. Tell me about a configuration of your PC (graphics card).

If this problem persists, I recommend to manually update drivers for your graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel).

P.S. Jill, thanks for your advices!
