After Effects crashes/freezes with wrist watch/ beach ball when opening Preferences
M4 Macbook Pro (64GB RAM), Sequoia 15.6, After Effects version 25.3.2 Build 2. I disabled plugins, reset preferences, and uninstalled/reinstalled the app.
I can open and edit projects without apparent issues.
I get a beach ball if I open the preferences. It happens right when I open the app (even in safe mode) and also happens if I open and work on a project. I have to force quit. I have no idea what else I can do to fix this.
By the way - I was not able to post this question without choosing at least one "topic" to apply to it. I was given a choice of 4 topics, none of which apply to this issue, so I chose "Libraries". WTF...
