Hello.. I installed some of presets but I am disturbed because ae always keep saying "Initializing animation presets" 

It takes too long. Is there a way to close that auto-load? Thank you for now!

    Hi Kevin, two of my posts earlier today are missing. I've actually been noticing strangeness the past few months and can finally confirm this.

    Are you able to look into this? TIA


    PS - I see them now - very strange.

    I've never heard of such a message when only the default presets are installed.

    Have you installed any 3rd party presets?

    Yes it's because 3rd party presets I've installed. I think there no solution except deleting some of them

    Stock answer: You have too many and your disks are slow. You could consider weeding out the unused ones of course. Also note that if you use preset localization for different languages this can also increase lookup times considerably, so maybe turn that option off and use the plain English names instead. Otherwise there is not much you can do about it other than buying a faster harddrive. It's just how AE works.
