Very slow and crashing after updating to 2022 version

Am I the only one who's PC has become very slow after upgrading my CC softwares?

 

Everything crashes and the rendering is taking much much longer than it used to be, and I keep getting a notification that the process can't be completed because there's no enough RAM though I'm using a gaming PC with 16 GB Ram!

    Same here, after 2022 update I feel like I need a new PC. Slow preview, keep crashing and showing the crash report window, sometimes even when it's not really crashing and everything continue to work   !O_o   Keep clicking on the report button... Windows is all up to date. I think I'm going to uninstall and go back to 2021 version.

    I went back to the next version down, which was 2018+, and the same thing
    happened. I'm guessing it's a no-go on a laptop with less than 16 mg RAM
    and less than i7 Core.

    Quickly uninstall AE 2022 and get on with your life.

      Just to drop the same experience. AE CC 2022 totally unusable on Win11. Basically renders the whole computer unusable. No such issues in previous versions.

        I'm just trying to learn it, and I have a brand new laptop with 16GB RAM and I can't even click on things to move them along the timeline! It's frozen up after the first move I make. This is terrible.

        The problem seems to be only with after effects and Media encoder they don't really have any significant improvements over last year,  I'll be uninstalling the new versions this afternoon. I really can't afford to mess with this crap when I'm on a deadline.

          After effets 2022 is so slow: preview, renaming layers, applying scripts, running expressions, ... everything. Nothing in the forums helps. Turning off the multiframe render did make a difference but only to slightly improve the insane delay before previewing. Had to revert to using 2021 to accomplish any work. 

           

          This update in without any really useful improvements but beware it will most likely result in a very significant waste of time and money for those professionals who work with AE on a daily basis.

            ...And i still do not understand how Adobe can remain silent on this...!
            After Effects is a (bad) prototype !!!

              Im glad i looked here.  I thought i was going crazy.  After Effects 2022 is slow, freezing, crashing, even with a blank scene and some randome shape layers.  I have a ryzen 9, 64 gigs of ram...

                Does Adobe intend to respond one day to the mass of criticism and disappointments raging over the latest 2022 update of its softs....????

                  greetings from Indonesia,

                  i installed all 2022 version back then, and i can't stand to notice that Ae CC 2022 feels like dragging a boulder! literally. my 16Gb and RTX 3080 MSI laptop feels like a joke, weirdly enough, no software behave like this, except Ae. so yeah.. maybe CC 2020 were better after all

                      My findings so far are that if you render within AE itself, then it is indeed faster in version 22 (almost halves the current project I'm working on). But if I export to Media Encoder it takes so long that I just end up assuming it's crashed after an hour or two and force quit the application.

                       

                      Also have discovered that you can switch of the Multi-Frame rendering in the Preferences...

                      Select After Effects > Preferences > Memory & Performance (Mac) or File > Preferences > Memory & Performance (Win).

                       

                      The Speculative Preview when idle can also be switched off (Composition Menu>Preview>Cache Frames When Idle and switch off.),  if like me it really messes up your work flow. Or can be tweaked to come of when you want. 
                      After Effects > Preferences > Previews.

                       

                      This link pretty much covers it all. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/multi-frame-rendering.html

                       

                      I'm yet to work out how to fix the Media Encoder problem, too busy working trying to keep my head above water before Xmas!

                       

                      Oh also I believe a re-start after install of 22 is pretty essential to even stand a chance of things working.

                       

                      One good thing seems to be that you can still open your project up in version 21 even if you've been working on it in 22.

                        You know what the best solution is? Downgrading to 2021.. fixes all of the issues over here..

                        Dont see any reason using 2022, as the bigest change they claim is performance enhancement right? Well...hehe, what a mess..

                         

                         

                        Did some digging btw, and AE seems to have problems with task assignement of my gpu, got TDR errors in event log..
