Ae 22.5 crashing due to expressions error on multiple Windows systems

Thanks for the report, Matt. Looks like the issue is to do with the javascript engine AE uses. We are working with the team that maintains the engine to see what either they or we can do to fix this.

I don't know much about that specific error, but I think cascading expressions like you're doing can put a lot of stress on the expression engine. You've got a lot of layers where expressions reference the same property on the next layer down in the layer stack, so to get the result for Bar 34, for example, the expression engine first has to calculate the result for Bar 33, which depends on the result for Bar 32, etc. Sometimes you have to set things up like that, but usually, as in your case I think, it would be much more efficient to use the layer's index to calculate the result based on the layer's relative position (index-wise) to the base layer. So you would replace your position expression with something like this:

M = thisComp.layer("Bar Master");
n = M.index - index;
new_pos = M.position[0] + (thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Bar Spacing")("Slider") * 4)*n;
[new_pos,wiggle(5,150)[1]]
