Text tool is very slow | AE 2024 24.1

As above, I'm working on:

Sonoma Version 14.3.1

 

3,2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W

Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB

32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4

 

I tried adding normal text in Beta version and it works perfectly fine - the regular AE though - as soon as I add text, it's a 30s time to wait for the cursor to move. Any tips?

I'm having the same issue with AE 24. I've update at least three times since it was first released. I'm on older Mac, 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, but this shouldn't be happening, and seems to be happening with new computers too. I rely heavily on AE for animating graphics for clients. This is driving me insane and costing my clients a lot more because it takes so long for me to animate text using After Effects. This is such a basic function of AE. I'm not going to list the curse words I want to use here, but the list is long. VERY LONG.

What is more strange is that once I place the an AE composition on a timeline in Premiere, the AE preview is great - nearly realtime. It's just within AE that preview is encredible slow for really basic text. FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, ADOBE!!!

Hi Furman Pictures, LLC,

 

Have you checked if it happens with a particular font or all the fonts? Please test with a system font. Also, please share a screen recording of the issue so that we can understand it better.

 

Thanks,

And yes, sorry, this happens with all the fonts.

I removed all the plugins and no change. This is very strange.

Does it happen with all the fonts? After Effects 24.2.1 is on its way if you haven't already received the update. Give that a try.

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Do you have any plugins or panels or scripts installed in the non-Beta version of AE that aren't installed on the Beta version?
