Can't set Ae 2025 as default version, keeps forcing beta to open instead

I recently updated Ae to version 25.2.

My current projects were all defaulted to automatically open with version 2024. I went into my settings (using Mac OS 14.5) and changed to 2025 as default, but when I tick the box to "change all" it forces the Beta version as the default.

How can I make the 2025 version the default? This used to work, I feel like it's an issue with this update?

Somehow I woke this morning and tried again, and now it worked. Lol.

Sounds like something is off with the file association on Mac. Do you mind reaching out to Apple support and seeing if they can help?

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

You choose the project file you want to open. You right-click it to open Get Info. You find "Open with" and choose the version of After Effects.

Exactly what I'm trying to do - every time I select the 2025 version, my computer automatically changes my selection to the beta version (which isn't even in the dropdown list).
