Glitch in movie output not seen in TOP

I’m running into an issue where part of my exported movie is glitched as shown below. It’s difficult to debug because the output appears normal in my network, including in the MovieFileOut TOP as it’s recording. But the output file has this thing where some of the content is… interleaved and tiled over the top, with a frozen frame on the bottom.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Know of any debugging tips or fixes?

I think it was because of a resolution mismatch somewhere in my chain. I’ve never seen that happen before though!

Here’s the actual output: https://youtu.be/twO90lq6klQ

This seems like a bug. Can you tell us what the output settings you are using? If you use a simple network with the same resolution and output settings, does the same issue appear? And if so, can you post the .toe file for that?
