Well this has me stumped… after much testing and saving PDF file under
a few different PDF standards, avoiding putting artwork on offending
pages (using AI to make multipage PDF)… I find this bug can turn up in
any of the Renderer macros on any PDF page. I tried deleting the "p8"
macro and copied another one in, which solved the problem temporarily
where nothing short of a reboot would. Glitch came back later.
I thought perhaps it was Kineme PDF Renderer but now I think not —
I've had a correct tooltip image from that patch with the full
billboard square / glitch rendering on View at the same time. So I'm
reasoning it is the billboard flaking out.
Only consistent thing I can identify is that if I Stop the comp before
changing the interpolation speed and then start it it doesn't seem to
glitch. If I change duration it to a value <1 or even back to value >1
it seems to glitch quite regularly (but not consistently :/ )

Hi Alistair,
For what it's worth, on opening the comp, I didn't see any no-clear-
patch-esque glitching -- just the LCD segments of a "0" cycling on
and off. However, if I turn the renderer on and off, one of the
billboards starts flashing blue, i.e., the whole rectangle, not just
the LCD segment. By disconnecting each of the segment macros one at
a time, I isolated it to "p8". I don't have time to investigate
further but hopefully this helps.

When I cranked the interpolate duration down to under 1 sec, this
patch started glytching. Looks like a no clear patch kind of thing
so I put them at every level of the comp: no joy.

(unzip the PDF and keep in same directory as comp to show artwork)*
Any ideas what is causing this glitching? It's only at high speed
switching between billboards, the other method where I switch the
source image to a single billboard gets slowed down by the blur —
it doesn't glitch.
*Oh this patch uses NI Gaussian Blur GL but there's a V002 blur in
the macros that can be substituted if you don't have NI installed
on your machine. It also uses Kineme Director Scanner to find the
PDF file for the Kineme PDF Renderer patch. For some reason when I
put a relative path name into PDF Renderer it wont find the file,
could be user error ;-)
