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?Please upvote this post so that the support team can notice and fix the issue quickly.

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?

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
