Rhythmic screen flicker

PostFri Feb 12, 2021 2:21 pm

I see a more or less rhythmic, mild flicker of the screen in Resolve beta 9, about 1.5 seconds period. This did not happen in beta 8 (and all those before) and I do not see it in any other program, so it shouldn't be my hardware failing.
Anybody seeing this (MacOS in my case)?

Not seeing it in Windows.

Thanks for checking. I'll try a clean install.

Was a weird hiccup. A fresh install fixed it.
