RE: [Nuke-users] ZDefocus buggy?
We just had similar issue, with artifacts in random frames using ZDefocus. Very hard to debug. In our case the artifacts were triggered by large depth differences and appeared in same place. Reducing depth difference in these places removed artifacts completely. Hope it helps.

Thank you guys for the reply! I double checked the sequence again and there where no NaNs what so ever. Guess I'll hope they had that fixed in newer versions. Thanks!
