AE 25.1 locks up as soon dialogue box is opened

SYSTEM: M2 ultra mac on OS 15.1.1

APP Version: After Effects 25.1

 

ISSUE: Any dialogue box - opening comp settings or even saving - causes AE to lock up. Boxes will not disappear unless you force quit. Also comp consisting of shape layers and native plug-ins opens but no picture visible.

 

TRIED:  resetting preferences, starting in safe mode, uninstalling plugins. 

 

FIX: downgrade to 25.01.

I experience the same issue (among others) in both 25.01 and 25.1 Comps are not complex, no 3D.

Sorry, not sure I replied correctly? The issue occurs in all projects. Have tested in new project. As soon as I created a new comp and tried to change the comp settings the issue appeared.

I'm partners with Catherine.

She wants youur to know: tried clean, brand-new project, deleted preferences, no difference. Only rolling back fixed it.

Hi Catherine,

 

Sorry to hear about the issue. Is it happening with a particular project or all of them? Can you test on a new project if you haven't already?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
