Roto Brush fail with MacBook Pro M1

Hi there,

I am experiencing a continuous lagging issue while using the Roto Brush on my 8GB Ram M1 MacBook Pro. Whenever I try to apply it on a clip, it stutters and fails to preview the footage making me unable to proceed. I have searched for this issue and tried every possible troubleshooting such as:

 

1. Reducing the RAM reserved for other applications and giving After Effects all the installed Rams.

2. Clearing the cache and the desk

3. Trying other versions of Roto Brush from version 1 to 3

4. Closing any app working in the background and leaving AF only active.

5. Using proxy footage and working with it.

6. Updating the AF to its latest version.

7. Tried to divide a 2-minute clip into fewer portions and try on everyone individually but I keep facing the same issue and can't use the tool as well.

 

And other workarounds as well but I keep facing the same issue, please provide me with a solution as I need to use this tool ASAP.

 

Thank you.

Hi again @Zack Einhorn,

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

 

So, I understand where the issue comes from. Just to confirm, it's more related to the GB RAM here than whether it's an M1 or other chip version, right?
Meaning that I can get another MacBook Pro M1 but with 16 GB RAM and all should be working fine then?

Hi @ibrahim23131182582qunfortunately your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for After Effects. You will need to have at least 16GB of RAM on your Mac. Check out https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/system-requirements/2023.html if you want to learn more.
