After Effect 2025 lag issue

Hi everyone,
I’m facing persistent lag and extremely choppy playback in After Effects 2025. My laptop is fully updated and has solid specs:

  • 32GB RAM
  • RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM)
  • 1TB SSD

I’ve already tried every optimization tip from YouTube tutorials—disk cache settings, GPU acceleration, resolution tweaks, etc.—but nothing seems to help. Even simple compositions stutter badly.

Is anyone else experiencing this with AE 2025? Could it be a bug with the latest version? Any insights or fixes would be appreciated!

 

Want me to tailor this for a specific forum like Adobe Community or Reddit?

Hi uzair5CCF,

 

You're at the right place. Could you help me understand your issue better? Are you getting the lag while caching the frames or while previewing the cached frames (indicated by the green line in the Timeline)? If possible, share a screen recording of the issue. That'll be helpful.


Thanks,
Nishu
