Memory leak in after 25

Hello, how are you? I am having a problem that I believe to be a memory leak, both in Premiere, but mainly in After Effects.

Any simple task causes After Effects to consume all available RAM. For example, a simple animation of a shape's position without any effects attached consumes 23 GB.

 

Can anyone help? I've never had problems like this before... I feel like I could do more when I had 8GB of RAM lol

My setup is a Ryzen 5 5600 | 32 GB RAM | GeForce 2080 graphics

Hi @Leonardo335847595xrd,

 

Sorry to hear you're running into issues. Memory leaks are very tricky to track down, so we're going to need a lot more information to solve this.

Can you please post a screen recording of your entire screen with both After Effects and your Windows Task Manager open?

 

In the Processes tab, click the "Memory" column header to sort by processes consuming the most memory. We need to see exactly what you are doing and when the memory usage starts to increase.

 

Thanks,
- David, After Effects Engineering Team
