Performance issues with After Effects 25.1 (very slow feedback from AE preview window)

Hello,

Since the release of the 25.0 updates (25.01 to 25.1) for After Effects, I’ve noticed a significant slowdown in the user interface (UI). The preview performance is also extremely sluggish (see the video I recorded).


I’ve tried several solutions to fix the issue:

  • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects,
  • Checking for updates (software and drivers), etc.

Unfortunately, the only way to restore normal performance is to revert to version 24.0. I’m certain this isn’t a hardware issue, as it’s directly linked to the 25.0 versions.

Have you encountered this problem or found a solution?

After Effects beta has a fix for a similar issue. Can you install and see if it fixes the issue on your end?

Let me know.

Thanks for sharing the screen recording. Could you let us know your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? Also, try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and see if that brings any change.

Looking forward to your response.


Thanks,
Nishu
