Hello,

I am experiencing severe performance issues with Adobe After Effects. The application is lagging significantly during use and while rendering, even when I am working in quarter resolution and using it minimally ( minimal animation with 3d camera ). Additionally, the software frequently crashes and takes around 2–5 minutes just to save a project or export a video file, and it is also crashing frequently.

This is not due to my system configuration, as I am using a newly assembled high-spec PC with the following specifications:

  • NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB)
  • 32 GB RAM
  • AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (6-core processor)
  • MSI Pro B650 S WiFi motherboard

I have already visited the PC service center 2–3 times, and they confirmed that there are no hardware-related issues.

The main issue appears to be that After Effects is not utilizing the NVIDIA GPU at all, and instead it is consuming nearly 98% of the CPU and MEMORY. Because of this issue, I am experiencing problems in other software as well, and my PC overall is also lagging. Cinema 4D is also crashing when used via After Effects. I have already tried adjusting both After Effects and NVIDIA GPU settings, but the problem still persists.

This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and also harming my other software as well, and wasting hours of productive time ( 5pm - 12pm i wasted on 7s animation 3d camera is also used ). I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this matter.

Thank you.

Sorry to hear about the issue. 

 

Is it happening in all the projects? Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? Try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and test this in a new project file. For testing, do not import any media and test only with Text, Solid, and Shape layers. Feel free to use effects. It'll help us narrow down the issue.

Here's to help.


Thanks,
Nishu
