Here's a screenshot of an AE sequence with only 2 shape layers and one solid with a mask. Note the amount of RAM it took. 56 GBs for three basic layers?! In a FHD project?!!! What is going on?

I made a 5 minutes motion graphics project in the previous but one version and it only took 45 GBs.

What happens if you open the project in Safe Mode?

That will help determine of it's a third-party plugin, add-on, or extension (something you can control on your end) or something to do with After Effects (something that may need to be addressed with an update).

It's the same. It starts growing once I create a solid, ad a rounded rectabgle mask to it, select 2 points of one of the angles and Ctrl+T to free shape it.

Befor I started doing it It took only 19 GB of ram

Stop trying to edit and EDIT!

Sorry to hear about the issue.

What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? Are there any third-party plug-ins? Can you try clearing media cache (Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache)?

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
