Just started for no apparent reason. While attempting to scrub the timeline, my images are displayed in a 'strobe' like manner, with black frames inbetween normal frames. Anyone have a clue? Thanks, GR

You might try turning off hardware decoding if it's checked in pref > Hardware Acceleration >

Jeff, I really appreciate your taking the time to help. Unfortunately, that didn't make any difference. I tried both options on and off, (Enable OpenCL technoloy .... and Enable hardware decoding). Also tried Optimize and NOT Optimize... no help there either. While at it, I tried the age old remedy of shut down, unplug and restarting... to no avail. Very distracting when editing and not getting a 'feel' for what I want. I've been a PwrDir user through 5 upgrades and never ran into this before.

Any other suggestions gladly accepted.
Thank you for your imput.

When you say "scrub" are you manually dragging the scrubber or are you hitting "play" to preview that section?
