After Effects 11.0.2.11
Mac OS 10.7.4
A "ghost" frame from an old movie is stuck in the transparent / checkerboard background. Always the same movie / frame. Even in a new comp without any layers this old quicktime movie shows up. Was a moving movie, this ghost effect is now just a single still frame. Put one item in the comp and it disappears. Turn off the eyeball for all of the layers and the ghost image comes back.
Does not show up in final renders .. yet. Mostly in just (Auto / Half) rez comp viewer previews.
I've tried deleting prefs. Cleared disk cache. Cleared Conformed Media Cache. Restarted the program. Restarted the computer. It's been like this for weeks.
Now it has started showing WITH other layers "on". This is new. Makes it tough to work.
IT department says they have no idea, that "we'll have to wipe your entire computer" but before going THAT route wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this problem and if they've discovered a solution.
Thanks,
Marc
In these examples below this "rooftop scene" not only isn't supposed to be in the image, it's not even in the AE project file.
Here it is actually with other layers set to "on" which has never happened before:
