Preview doesn't update until playhead moves on Apple M1 Mac (AE beta ver. 22.3)

Title says it all, how annoying to have to move the playhead so that I see the change I just made in my comp 😞  (except holding right mouse button on something and moving it around).

 

I hope I can help by pointing this out !

    Okay so the version of after I was using was the previous version to today's 22.3.0.68

    Other than that I've had a myriad of other issues on Media Encoder & Premiere Pro (since today's update) ranging from software refusing to launch to down right constant rainbow loading icons so I've just switched back to the old base model 16" I'd been using thus far for stability. I guess I could give the video side of the suite a try in Rosetta 2 emulation but I don't have any time for that...

    Hi John & yes exactly this, litteraly ! Thank for pointing it out I didn't come accross this thread when searching 😞

     

     I also just got this M1 machine so I had no previous beta build experiences on it. I'll have to check the exact build number for you lads today at some point 🤝

    Hi @rafael.OB,

     

    Thank you for reporting this issue. It does help, much more than many realize!

     

    Does what you're seeing seem similar to what was reported in the thread linked below?

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-bugs/preview-is-not-updating/idi-p/12753652 

     

    Were you experiencing this slowdown in any previous Beta builds? And what is the build number of the build you are using? 22.3 is the version number and doesn't change often, but there is a build number which updates almost daily, indicated by the ".nn" at the end of the version e.g. "22.3.0.nn". Having that build number would help us to pinpoint potential causes. And does it also occur in any non-Beta builds?

     

    Thanks again for reporting, and for any additional information,

    - John, After Effects Engineering Team
