Blots and Rectangles Around Action items

I use Blue Iris version 4. Just recently I started seeing 'motion rectangles & blots' around all the animals and people that moved in video clips that were saved. I will try and attach a photo showing what I mean by blots, once I can get it to the correct size.

If I save a portion of a clip using the Start & Stop triangles and then play this portion back, the blots and rectangles are gone. BTW, on the Trigger tab I have selected 'Do Not Highlight Motion'.

Any idea what is causing this and how to eliminate it? Thanks in advance.

I discovered what was causing these blots when playing my clip videos. If you right click on a video, a menu will drop down. One of the menu items is 'Test run video through motion detector'. I had inadvertently checked this box. Once I unchecked the box, the blots no longer appeared on subsequent videos.
