5.5 Render DOF Issue

Hi! I’ve been experiencing a similar problem when experimenting with 5.5 first in Preview and now in the full release. Been trying to see if I might have a settings issue somewhere but not tracking it down. I setup two new projects with the same basic setup in 5.5 and 5.3.2 (the other version I have installed that I’ve been using for my main video project I’m working on). I didn’t have the same issue rendering in 5.3.2 that I did in 5.5 so it seems like it’s 5.5 related.

I did notice some kind of haloing with the depth of field when using a Metahuman experimenting in 5.5, which I think I’m seeing in yours too.

Render in 5.5 there is white noise almost like sharpening on the edge of the orange box. When rendered as a video this moves almost like TV static. When rendering with subsamples for Anti-Aliasing the noise becomes solid lines.

NewLevelSequence.0001.exr (17.0 MB) - An EXR export of the same sequence with the Metahuman using settings I’ve used for more cinematic renders in the past with a very shallow depth of field. Lots of artifacts on this.

It seems like using Anti-Aliasing sometimes makes the issue more pronounced.

Also, I don’t see these issues in the viewport. Only when rendering a sequence.

I’m using an M2 Max MacStudio 96GB Memory MacOS 15.1
