Question

cti bug in ae 24.1

I recently upgraded to win 11 and when previewing in after effects (24.1) my cti (the red line thats supposed to move in real time) moves a few frames then freezes, along with the preview time. Changing between gpu and softare rendering didnt work, changing some settings like the audio output device fixed the problem, but it came back the next day/ in the next ae session/ when I created a new project. My projects barely have a few layers, my pc specs should be enough (i5 14400 rtx 4070 super 64 gb ram). Never had this problem on my old pc (i5 9500 gtx 1650 32 gb ram) with windows 10 and the same ae version.

Thanks for reaching out, Adrian.

Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? Can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode? If that helps, resetting the preferences is what you need. If that doesn't, please ensure 1.) Install all the pending updates for the OS. 2) Update your GPU driver.

Let me know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

 

Thanks,
Nishu
