I also agree, I hope there will be the option to keep the same background gray shade as we have today. I found the new schemes too contrasted, I think now we have a perfect sweet spot.  For the toggles, 100% please let us choose the higlight color (grey or blue), I can already see myself not noticing the toggles I forgot to turn off 🙂 I have a professional high-end monitor but in 24.4  the UI text looks smaller and less easy to read (looks bolder but somewhat blurry and harder to read).                   As usual will be a matter of adapting to the new changes, but would be nice to have the option to keep things as they are and maybe gradually switch between projects.  ...

UPDATE: If anyone is experiencing the same issue, a temporary solution is to shift the audio layer some frames forward and it will play correctly.  ... View more

Since the latest update imported audio files are playing twice in the first few frames after pressing the spacebar. This makes it impossible to work with audio, which is essential.   I already cleared the cache, I can't clear my preferences because I'm in a middle of a project (and I don't think cleaning preferences will solve it). I have made a test with a clean project/timeline, with no plugins. Tested in Beta and the same .wav file is playing correctly. ... View more

Hi, @JohnColombo back after a thorough testing session.  Will pm you a screen capture (can't post it here since it's client work). System specs: Windows 11 Professional (100.0.22621) Nvidia 3080 (studio driver  528.49) 64gb ram intel 10900k No antivirus/firewall/VPN etc... The only program active in the tray is Logitech ghub (mouse management) Backup system (Acronis) was turned off for this test to be on the safe side. No other software open other than AE.   Results: in 22.6 operations in the timeline are smooth and responsive in 23 all versions + latest beta: lagging timeline operations (same as other people reported)   As I hear more feedback, this has happened for a lot of people since version 23 Also, today in the same Twitter thread someone added this memory leak feedback https://twitter.com/FLOWTUTS16/status/1624349847330426881, don't know if it's part of the same issues.   Let me know if I can provide more information, Thank you ...

Hi @JohnColombo thanks for the reply, so nice to hear back so soon from the team. Will try as you suggest, today I was able to reproduce the same behavior in the latest beta (I keep the beta clean with no plugin migration).   Will get back as soon as I can do the test (detailed system specs as well) , have a nice weekend. ...

2022.2 feels put together with tape, everything feels slow and clunky and it takes a minute to quit and often crashes on quit. MFR is a great addition though, I waited years for it, and is saving me a lot of time. But how come when I use Cinema or Resolve, the software feels "solid" and responsive (despite the very occasional crash) and in AE I am panic saving every minute fearing crashes/lags/freezes? I am experiencing the same lag with PS and AI, which I use all the time besides AE which is my main tool.   I don't want to complain, I know it's a complex (and old) piece of software and there's no magic, but I hope the dev team at will soon focus 100% on performance and stability instead of adding extra features, which are welcome but useless if the software at the root is unstable. This is not only a personal opinion, I'm seeing every day plenty of professionals complaining online. Source: I make a living working on AE several hours per day and I have a powerful workstation with bare minimum software installed (no games etc...). ... View more

Hi Mylenium, thanks for the reply.   I managed to remove the banding on playback, the only way I found is to turn AE color management OFF (none), or untick "view > use display color management".   - Display is true 10-bit so that's the 10-bit settings in the Nvidia settings (as I know you need to force it in the nvidia panel to get 10-bit output from Windows otherwise will always output 8bit by default). - Using factory sRgb preset on the display, which is quite accurate (tested with my probe and displaycal). Not looking for 100% standard so I'm happy with that without having to mess with calibrations. - Output is via displayport (1.2 so supports 10-bit@100hz).   But the same issue happens also switching to "default color settings" and removing all "forced" nvidia settings, so maybe color profile or nvidia settings are not part of the problem.   The issue happens with all kinds of projects/resolutions, so the specific project I've exported the frame from is not relevant. I usually work at 1080p / 25fps / 32bit, color management settings sRgb (linear off) as posted above. I add linear if I'm working with linear .exrs exported from cinema. But even in an empty project if I add a simple glow on a square, banding when hitting "play" still happens. I used this setup for the last two years without that issue. I can get away with CM off, but since only recently I got this problem, I'm trying to troubleshoot.     Windows 11 display settings I didn't think that cache or ae settings can be part of the problem, here's the settings. Cache is on a separate dedicated m.2 drive   I'm not an expert in color management of course, this is my understanding after many years of trial and error to find the most suitable settings for my setup and kind of work. Thanks for your help.   ... View more

Hi, exciting update!   Here's the result of the benchmark (export is a PSD sequence): Intel i9-9900k / 64gb ram / rtx3080 - 10gb vram / Windows 10 64bit Single frame : 12:20 Multi-Frame : 7:04 Mercury GPU   Also rendered with 17.7 (gpu) : 11:53         ... View more

Hi, problem is the same in Premiere so it fits also here. Media was Apple ProRes 422 Proxy preset from Apple compressor. I am already in touch with Adobe Support Team and already provided a reference media.   Seems that the problem is with a new header that Apple software puts into prores files.   Temporarily solved the problem re-encoding everything in Dnx from Resolve (which opened the same proxies without problems).   Thanks.     ...

EDIT: I forgot to mention the files are exported from Compressor, from what I'm reading a different file format ("apcs" instead of "whihc") could be the problem. Is there a workaround to avoid re-transcoding everything? ... View more

Hi, I have the same problem in AE, I received some ProRes Proxies done in Compressor and they are not importing (error 86::1). Since they are 4tb of video, I'd like to avoid re-encoding everything, is there a workaround? ... View more

Hi, latest version started again to display the "could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions. (86 :: 1)" when trying to import files from an external drive. I'm on Windows 10 pro, files are prores proxies and before update were importing correctly. I have admin permissions.  Tried several solutions (re-install quicktime and codecs, copy to local drive, etc...) but nothing works. Please fix.  I have a deadline and a lot of files to import, please fix this! ... View more

Since no update came out since the post, there are no improvements. Still hoping in a general performance fix when the next patch comes out. ... View more

Hi, yes that's how I managed to finish the job, making some Prores using AME. But in the long run, this is not suitable for our usual workflow. Found another couple of threads with the same issue so I think Adobe is aware of the issue and a fix will be present in the next patch. ... View more

Hi, yes I confirm checkbox was checked and sequences were imported in the correct way. Specs: Windows 10 pro i7 4770k 64gb ram 2 x Nvidia 980ti   I can assure you that the same image sequence is playing smoothly in AE and Premiere 2019 in the same workstation. ... View more

UPDATE: I had a remote Adobe support connection. They tried to fix even cleaning ALL creative cloud but the error kept popping up. In the end, they tried "safe mode" and the program is running. The advice was then to ask Microsoft for help since it's a windows update/ windows account issue, and roll back to older windows version. Other advice is to clean/reinstall microsoft c++ libraries. Will try to take these steps, this is the first time I got this kind of reply. ... View more
