After Effects version 26.0 freezes when I use the 3D camera with two views.

Since version 24, After Effects has had this problem of freezing the view on two screens when using the 3D camera. At first, I thought it was due to my PC's configuration, but I recently upgraded it and the problem persists. I've reset the After Effects settings several times and it's still the same. Now, something strange is that if I work with only one view, After Effects doesn't freeze, so I only work with that single view currently.

Screenshot of the frozen screen:

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the issue. Is it reproducible every time, or is it random? Are there any error messages? Are you using any third-party plug-ins? Can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and see if that helps?

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu

Is it reproducible every time, or is it random?
R: Yes, it always happens when both views are active.

Are you using any third-party plug-ins?
R: Yes, I use some plugins.

Can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and see if that helps?
R: Here's a screenshot in safe mode without the plugins; the problem persists.

That’s really strange! I haven’t seen this issue before. It could be specific to your setup. What happens after the freeze? Does it crash or start working again after some time? Is it specific to 2 Views only? What happens if you use 4 views? Since you’re having this issue for some time, I am guessing it is not project-specific. But is there anything common that you’ve been using in all your projects? For example, any media or any effects?

Let me know.

Thanks,

Nishu
