Images 'glitching' out?

Post by Hopper200456 »

So, I'm using Anime Studio 9 Pro, and I'm making this animation entirely with images (or sprites, rather) from the game Super Metroid.
Everything renders and exports fine, but in the 'editor' view, it seems very glitch-y. Like. VERY glitch-y. Okay, so, I'm new to Anime Studio 9, but I used to use Anime Studio 5 Standard. I never used Images THAT much, but when I did it didn't seem this bad...

Images are being replaced with other images, sometimes it will just show as white boxes, ect... It's very annoying because of how frequent it is. It happens so much it can make it hard to even tell what is going on. So anyway, here's what it looks like:
The glitched images are on the left, and the correct versions are on the right, except for the last on. For the last one, the correct version is on the left, and the glitched version is on the right. That was because I'm an idiot.

So, have I just turn something on to mess it up? Is there anyway to fix this or at least make it better?

(4/10/13 4:10) EDIT: I added a vector layer and it seem to fix it for a while, but it just went back to being glitched. Any ideas?

(4/10/13 4:16) EDIT 2: OOOH, so the viewing the animation from the vector layer works, but viewing it from an Image layer shows it as being 'glitched'. Weeeiiiirrrdd. Don't be shy to suggest something! Also, is anyone else having this problem when animating with Images?

Try this: Go to your ASP preferences and try turning off "enable GPU accelerated drawing".

And if that doesn't fix everything, also try unchecking "Nearest neighbour sampling for new image layers"

Hope that helps.

Turning off "enable GPU accelerated drawing" seems to work!! Thank you soooo much!!

Also, just for curiosity sake and future reference, what does enabling GPU accelerated drawing do?

There are in fact some glitches in the preview area of AS, which usually only show in more complicated setups like nested masks, lots of bitmaps, textures etc. As long as the rendering tunrs out right I don't care, but I understand it irritates everybody, especially at the first time.
AS 9.5 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
AS 11 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3

Happy to help. I'm not really sure what GPU accelerated drawing does. I'm guessing its making the computer use different stuffs to render the preview area or something...

It wouldn't bother me normally, but I'm working with a lot of switch layers and it made it impossible to see what I was doing. But yeah otherwise I'd just ignore it.

I tried googling it, but didn't find very much on it. Oh well! It works, so I guess it doesn't matter to me, haha.
