    Seems that Applescript support is broken in macOS Sonoma with v24

    Everything is running well for me except previews. M2 pro chip, mac mini. Just sits there, even with simple animations. Refuses to to play in preview. Odly it is way faster to render it out. Why?

      The new updates 24.6.2 is crashing my computer and overusing my RAM.  I have 32 GB RAM and no other programs are open.  It works for about 20-30 min and then crashes due to not enough memory.  Can we get a fix please??

      Also this is a brand new computer.  Even when I force quit (which is extremely difficult to do bc everything is slow and/or frozen) it has caused the rest of my system to crash and I have to reboot completely.  I've had another tech go through and determine this was the issue but rebooting an old version messed up all of my project fonts.

      Thanks a lot, very informative!

      Though I noticed that some links (like Decluttered 3D model import) are broken (certification issues).

      I just updated to 24.6.1 from 24.5 and have a problem exporting anything (mov, mp4, jpg, psd, etc.) correctly via the renderqueue. All exports are way too dark. Oddly if the queue is sent to Media Encoder, all exports are correct.

      After some short tests it seems that AE is outputing everything linear, which means when I import the previously incorrect exported footage again into AE, apply the color conversion effect and check the linearize input profile, everything is displayed correct again.

       

      The projects are as usual in my VFX workflow adobe color managed / rec709 2.4 gamma / linearized / 32bpc. The Output Module is set up with the apropriate working color space rec709 2.4 gamma. Never had any problems with that before.

      Going back to 24.5. works for me fortunately. Also going through AME is an option, but I'd really like to get that sorted out.

       

      This unexpected behavior occurs on different projects and computers on Win 10, equipped with Intel and amd, 3090s and latest Nvidia studio drivers, so its unlikely a hardware or driver issue.

       

      A quick search didn't give me an answer to that specific problem, so I hoped to maybe get some pointers here. 

      Cheers,

      Michi
