After Effects (Beta)

I got a new MBP 16 inch M1 Pro laptop with 16GB and first project is glitching.  I import Quicktime exported footage (Screen capture) and the video glitches terribly (pixelation etc).  I actually can't use it.  I downloaded the Beta version hoping that would fix it but still doesn't work.  Any ideas?  Note I've checked the original and it is fine. 

I have a precomp which contains a few layers in it, some with transfer modes like Multiply. In my 'main' comp, the precomp layer is set to Continuously Rasterize, and the transfer modes of the layers inside the precomp are rendering correctly in the main comp. However, if you add any Expression Control to the precomp layer, immediately the render changes as if all the transfer modes inside the precomp were set to Normal. It's still re-rasterizing the precomp after transforms, but the 'Quality and Sampling' switch changes from a - to / and the composited results are incorrect. To duplicate:1. Create a comp (we'll call it PreComp) and draw a red square; set it to Multiply and turn the opacity down a bit for fun2. Create another comp (we'll call it MainComp) and draw a light blue shape over the whole canvas3. Drag the PreComp layer in over the blue layer, set it to Continuously Rasterize, and note the visual result4. Add a Slider Control to the PreComp layer, and note insta

Can We make it so you Can Freeze Frame a Rotobrushed Layer? that would be super helpful. also a feature like Refine All Edges Automatically, based on the original Green RotoBrush Done.   A Feature where you could do an Automatic Edge Refine Brush around all of the Roto Brush Outlined would be Amazing. instead of having to pause anytime theirs a new Area I need to draw my Refine Edge Brush in a different Area it could be a feature where it automatically finds all edges to do this to. if selected a button like "Automatic Refine Edger, or Refine All Edges" Up to you guys. It would be extremely helpful for my work though. Again thank you, RotoBrush 2 has sped up the work amazingly. Thank you

Hi all, I'm having this weird issue on my Macbook pro M1 Max, since this week my after effects is not loading any script from aescript. It worked perfectly a week ago, but now everytime I tried to load one AE keeps thinking forever. I tried to solve, removing preferences, reinstalling after effects, the scripts, but without no luck any idea how to solve this issue?thanks in advance,

I seem to be having an issue with enabling Draft 3D on the beta. It works fine on the public release but I can't get it to work on the beta. I have the setting enabled per the image attached to enable it but I'm at a lost for what to do. Specs:Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7iMac 2013 27 inch, 32 GB RAM

When multi-frame rendering is performed, stop in the middle at the m1 max chip.Also, GPU usage is too low.My GPU is 36 cores.But it's less than 20%.I randomized the 4K 60fps video.

I use multiple screens, but this also happened on a single screen setup. When I pass my Logitech M705 wireless mouse over the composition panel when moving from one panel to another, automatically zooms in to the highest number if I move to the left and zooms out to the smallest percentage if I'm moving right. I am not touching the scrolling wheel or buttons -- I've been very cognizant of the possibility of a spurious mouse command. If I pass the mouse below or above the composition panel, it does not zoom, only if the mouse pointer moves across the panel.

Well, the new Property Panel is nice, but please don't wipe the property names in the timeline. Thanks! &#x1f60522.2.0x41

When split sequence is cut and later prtion is shifted time-wise, the later portion restores the cut area. I could not remove the cut area at all. It did not happen without Lumentri effect I presume.I am no sure if this problem is specific to the beta version. (No time to duplicate the problematic issue.)

All builds up until this point have been very usable but this morning after the latest update my AE is crashing constantly when scrubbing through an existing project. The same project caused no issues yesterday.

I updated the AE Beta to try out the new viewport option and in the process noticed that I no longer have the ability to enable Draft 3D. The button is greyed out and I'm not sure why it's doing that. System specs2013 iMacMac OS Catalina 10.15.7 

In order for Element 3D and Form to take advantage of the new Extended View feature, they have to be applied to a solid that's larger than the comp dimensions.  As seen in this attached image.

Fast-Exit is now available for After Effects in Public Beta 22.2x17   We’ve added the Fast-Exit feature to After Effects which greatly accelerates the process of shutting down the app. After you choose to close the app and all data and preferences have been saved, After Effects will immediately exit. In addition to improving shutdown speed, the Fast-Exit feature is intended to reduce the incidence of process hangs and deadlocks.   Please give it a try. We’d love to hear your feedback on how it is working for you.

Your system has run our of Application Memory – AE BETAI switched over the the latest Beta AE 22.1.1 (Build 68) and am still getting this issue I had using AE 2022 on 64GB M1 MAX. I'm having to purge memory constantly which is really a disruptive workflow. Definitly my biggest pain point. My previous 2018 intel Mac seemed to mangage the memory in the background and I never confronted this issue.Other users are seeing this same issue:https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/after-effects-22-0-1-causing-memory-leaks-o...Any feedback in regards to this issue is greatly apprciated!

Good

In AE 22.1.1x68, the Project Panel's thumbnail is always just black (or purely transparent if Thumbnail Transparency Grid is on) regardless of whatever comp, solid, .ai file, .mp4 file is selected. Composition > Set Poster Time does nothing.

Another playback issue with 22.1.1x62:Whenever I preview a comp with audio, the audio meters do absolutely nothing. The audio plays ok (well, it always goes very out of sync with the picture) whether I do a spacebar or Numpad . (audio only) playback - but no audio meters. However, if I ctrl-drag the CTI, to do an audio scrub, the meters display the levels normally.So whatever playback bug was around a few releases ago is back with a vengeance.

Still running Mojave on my home computer.  The creative cloud app says that v22.0 is compatible, and v22.1 is not, however when I updated to the latest build of v22.0 the app says it requires mac os 10.15.  I had to roll back to an older build of v22.0 (from July) using Time machine.  Can we please keep the v22.0 branch Mojave compatible, or provide a link to the latest version that is Mojave compatible?

Nothing happens when I press the spacebar for playing back a preview, neither when I trigger a preview playback from the Preview Panel. System info    Application: After Effects (Beta) v22.0.0.38    OS: macOS v10.15.7, RAM: 72.00 GB, CPUs (logical): 6
