After Effects Freezes after some time with error: "Direct2D Drawbot Error. HRESULT:-2005270523"

Please please please... is there any update for this issue? As you can see, these bugs are CRUSHING a  lot of people right now... is there any update? Can you please provide any information?

@2514854 McMillanStill haven't found a solution to this error? In the middle of 2025 this error continues for thousands of users around the world, how is this possible?

Após o problema ter sido "Resolvido" ele voltou novamente a acontecer, desta vez ele até renderiza alguma parte do video mas logo após ele trava e não renderiza, mesmo com todos os plugins fechados.

제발 오류 좀 없애주세요

Adobe please quit pinning these issues on GPU drivers or third party panels. It's your crappy program that is the promblem. I was forced to update for a client and now have to use this terrible software. These constant issues eat into my day and reduce the amount of work I can get done - this is not what I pay for. FIX THE BUGS, STOP ADDING FEATURES!

Eu fiz a instalação do Microsoft's 2018 x64 Visual C++ e ocultei TODOS os plugins da Area de Trabalho do After effects.

Foi o que funcionou pra mim, Testei com a codificação por hardware ativada.

I experienced a conflict between my system's integrated graphics and my dedicated NVIDIA GPU (RTX 4090), which caused issues with driver performance. The problem was due to the system switching between the integrated graphics for low-demand tasks and the dedicated GPU, leading to conflicts. I resolved this by disabling the integrated graphics in the BIOS and then updating my NVIDIA drivers, which eliminated the problem.

Disabling integrated graphics forced the system to use only the RTX 4090, avoiding any switching-related conflicts. This is a common solution for systems with both integrated and dedicated GPUs, especially in high-performance setups like mine.

It was surprising to learn that even with a powerful RTX 4090, the automatic switching to integrated graphics could cause such significant driver conflicts, highlighting the importance of proper graphics configuration.

I've noticed persistent performance issues with After Effects, particularly with RAM previews and constant purging, which disrupt the workflow. This frustration is shared by many motion designers. I believe Adobe should prioritize fixing these core functionalities, such as memory management and rendering performance, before adding new features. Closer collaboration with hardware manufacturers like NVIDIA could help optimize After Effects for modern GPUs, addressing compatibility issues that have persisted for years.

Other software seems to handle similar tasks more efficiently, suggesting After Effects' core code may be outdated and not optimized for current hardware standards.

Updating to 24H2 doesn't help since I had the issue with my old Quadro 4000 (PCIe 3.0 8 GB VRAM) and was running all the time on Windwos 11 Pro 24H2. I switched to the 4080 Super (16 GB VRAM) and had no problems with this error. I worked most of the time in AE Beta since that programm is more responsiv when it comes to UI and preview render. Before the Quadro 4000 I was running an 3090 Ti 24 GB and had no problems, too. 

So from my understanding when ur GPU is powerful enough it will handle things better, but there is no guarantee. 

Thanks,  @ndelacalle 

I will give it a try. Tomorrow...

@edddim I turned off Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows 11. So far, I've gone 24 hours without any errors in AE. I’m not sure if this will help everyone, but it's something really simple to do. Go to System > Display > Graphics / Advanced graphics settings / Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.
