Major memory leak issues on 25.5

AE, PP and Media Encoder are often eating all of my 128gb of RAM.

 

I'm not doing anything special to make this happen, just using them as I have for 15 years. Just opening Media Encoder and it sitting idle is currently consuming 25gb of RAM.

 

I will put this down to generally appalling performance I'm getting on this release across all of the video apps. I have never, ever seen any software perform so sluggishly. Black frames, glitches, random upside down frames. It's absurd. What is going on at Adobe?

128gb RAM, 4070 GPU, Ryzen 9 5950, separate nvme drives for media and cache - the media type is irrelevant, it does it regardless. An empty project still does it

Sorry that you're experiencing this unusual behavior.

Can you please give us specs on your system and what kind of media that you're working with?
