How to Troubleshoot Clipchamp Glitches and Screen Flickering on Windows 11
Question details
Users experience screen flashing, graphics failures, and project loading issues when using Clipchamp on Windows 11.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- Windows 11
- Scenario
- Editing or exporting video projects while connected to an additional monitor.
- Observed behavior
- The screen flashes black and white, graphics fail to load, and projects do not open, though the flicker may not appear in the final exported recording.
Close any unnecessary background applications to free up system memory, and physically disconnect then reconnect your external monitor cable to rule out a loose connection.
Check Task Manager and Update Display Drivers
Determine if the flickering is a system-wide display driver issue by observing the Windows Task Manager.
Screen flickering is commonly caused by an outdated display driver or an incompatible application struggling with hardware acceleration.
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard to launch Task Manager.
Watch the Task Manager window closely while the screen flashes. If Task Manager flickers along with everything else, the problem is likely related to your display driver.
Right-click the Windows Start button, select Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click your graphics card, and click Update driver.
If Task Manager does not flicker, the issue is isolated to the app. Go to Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps, locate Clipchamp, select Advanced options, and click Repair or Reset.
Isolate External Monitor Configuration Issues
Rule out hardware or display configuration issues triggered by using an additional monitor.
Test Playback in Alternative Video Players
Confirm whether the apparent flicker is actually caused by the video player rather than a Clipchamp rendering error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my screen flicker only when an external monitor is connected to Clipchamp?
This typically occurs due to the graphics card struggling to handle hardware-accelerated video rendering across multiple screens, or mismatched display settings such as refresh rates between your primary and secondary monitors.
Will the black and white flashing show up in my final Clipchamp video export?
Usually, no. The flashing is typically a real-time display or rendering glitch on your monitor interface. The actual exported video file usually remains unaffected and will play normally.
How do I contact Clipchamp Support if repairing the app doesn't work?
If Task Manager does not flicker and repairing the app fails to fix the glitches, you can contact Clipchamp Support directly through the help icon within the Clipchamp application or via the Microsoft Support website.
