Interface is Slow and Laggy

Let me know if I've done this correctly? https://f.io/wV-7DMJ7

I cannot, and since then, my lisence has been removed and I cannot access the program any longer. I just downloaded Nuke and have been using resolve for a month. Guess Adobe really just doesn't like me any more. shame. I'll just keep using my CS6 if I need it. CS6 never fails me.

The footage isn't mine to share, and it's quite massive, as it's raw. still, because that's what the program is designed to do, I expected it to work smoothly, but it couldn't even get the color space correct on ingest.

https://sonycine.com/testfootage/ has some footage from the same camera- specifically the prores at the bottom of the page, should be similar. take any 16 bit png and track it onto the footage, and you should get basically identical results. note I'm using a 1070 and intel 6700k. they're not powerful now, but if I had any success recently with AE I assure you... I would have upgraded by now. However, I've found that the performance on newer hardware is basically the same and at times worse. The delays from performance and waiting hours and days for renders has lost me so many clients, that I can no longer continue using the program as a professional. After all, who has time to wait 2 hours for a render just to preview an edit?

@nubnubbud I'm not exactly sure what's going on in the video. Are you able to zip the project up and share it with us so we can repro? Is this any better/worse in 23.2.1 (or 23.3 which is about to release in the next 10 minutes)? 

@jenkmeister17177426 
is there a chance we'll see any improvements for...
like, everything else? https://imgur.com/a/jP6OPa8 it's horrendous and basically unusable for anything beyond DV footage with a single precomp (the footage in the link is 6k, with one tracked 240x240 PNG on top. heavy, yes, but there's no reason for the UI to stop working when my CPU and GPU are below 80%, and the glitches present shouldn't happen at any resolution.)
for example. the preview UI updates much faster when beign dragged by a mouse. if you're gonna make a band-aid, a little script that forces an update like dragging the preview might be best. easy to undo too, if you ever get around to fixing it properly- but there's so many of these band-aids another on the pile dowsn't really hurt much either.

Just thought I'd add, I've also experienced this/had colleagues experience this on 27" Intel based i7 iMacs.

I'm going to test my Windows machine when I get home from the office.

Good to know. It is being worked on so hopefully we can get a fix sooner rather than later for you and everyone else suffering from this. Thanks again!

Nah I'm on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro, 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel i9 CPU, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M GPU.

Thanks. Our repro internally seems to be on Mac Arm (M1/M2) machines - just to confirm that's the hardware you're on? 

Yep, After Effects 23.2.1

MacOS Ventura 13.2.1

I'm fairly certain this always happens. I opened an existing document just to capture this footage and it happened straight away, once before I was screen recording and then again straight away.

To me it looks like AE is refreshing the render after each keystroke. Then at the last keystroke, it doesn't update. Hitting another keystroke forces a refresh and the previous character pops up.

@Rob217717683hsl thanks for sending the video. Just to confirm, that video was from 23.2.1, if not, which AE version. And Mac or Windows, and which version of the OS. Does it ever work properly, or it just doesn't matter, it always happens?
