Low memory on After Effects Beta, dynamic link extremely laggy

I was trying to add a timer overlay using After Effects using Dynamic Link and Premiere Pro, which I could do fine in the non-beta versions of the respective programs. But for some reason using both the beta versions of both programs, the linked .MP4 file from Premiere Pro in After Effects takes much much longer to render. The render time (just to view in the timeline) displayed anything between 150ms to 350ms. Playback would often result in a 0.3 second segment of the video to loop and repeat over and over.

 

Version: After Effects Beta 23.0

OS: Windows 11

Steps to reproduce the problem: Open a Premiere Pro project, and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", and open the linked project in After Effects.

Expected result: Way better playback speeds, no "Low memory" message.

    Hi @MrHoneyBun,

    Thank you for reporting this issue. A fix was made in the 23.1.0.16 build of After Effects (Beta) for a similar low-memory condition to what you've described here. Would you please install that build when you have a chance and let us know if you continue to see the same warning? Additionally, what are the GPU specs of the machine you are using?

     

    Thanks again for reporting this issue and for any further information you can provide,
