I produced a short video in mp4 at 720p and there is a flicker right at the end of a point where I modified an image to reduce it's size and move it. I produced the video again, this time using the iPad format of 720p. Same flicker, but this time PD crashed during production. I submitted the crash report, but was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this.

Look at 41 seconds. http://youtu.be/g4sLZiT01aI __________________________________

Hi jamie-esque,
I just viewed your short clip and didn't see any flickering through out the video (viewed in 3D for Anaglyph) LG 24" Geforce 560ti Graphic card.

The flicker is about 40 seconds in.

PD crashed on me too just now during production of a 720p Mpeg-4. I did what you did in the PIP designer to resize an image.

Jamie I know a few weeks ago I stated getting flickers and a few times like and a green flicker in a produce video mp4. In the fall of 2009 I pick up a Dell XPS Studio 8000 with a i7 and it had a GeForce GTS 240 video card. I seen where my CPU was idle temp on my CPU was higher than normal about 10 C higher. I had just done a cleaning in side the computer a week before. The video card was getting warmer. it was three years old. So I went and got a new GeForce GT 650 and a Corsair 700 watt power supply and my temp went down and I have not seen any flicker. That must of been my problem. But I had not resized any pictures.

Thanks for the responses. My system is under powered. I was surprised that it happened in the exact same place, especially since this is a new issue for me. I am getting a new computer soon. We will see if that helps.

Update: I just opened PD and it offered to recover the saved project, so I let it. I produced with no changes and the flicker is gone. That points directly at my system. Just needed a restart.

I've had that godawful flicker, too. In v8, 9, and 10. Always involving an image, and resizing/movement. Render-to format made no difference. Funny how some photos work fine, and other similar ones do not, in the same project. The solution escapes me, as do many things...what was the question?
