No RAM preview & extreme lag while working
Hello,
I'm working on a macbook pro system the specs are
MacBook Pro 2021 (2019 model)
Processor Name: 8-Core Intel Core i9
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 16 MB
Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled
Memory: 64 GB
AMD Radeon Pro 5600M
While working on AE 18.2 I'm not getting any ram preview at all. There is no green bar that appears on top of the timeline no matter how many layers or how simple an animation I try out. I've cleared cache, changed the cache folder location, reset preferences by holding cmd+shift+alt while starting AE, ram alloted is 32gb+. Because of this issue I'm not able to guage the timing of my animation as the video preview choppily. I can't even tell the timing of the bouncing ball properly which is essentially a circle touching a line. Please understand I'm not talking about the final render of whole animated video.
Also, If I try to run a project which has 50layers or so, the AE interface lags. For instance if i try to click and drag my mouse to form a selection box on the viewport, the selection box appears 3-4 secs later. It feels like im working on a laptop which is 10yrs old when I know that is not true.
I doubt there is any issue with the mac as other softwares like ps, krita work perfectly fine. Could someone please help me. I can't find any suggestions online as they only talk about the most common problems.
Thank you
