Very slow and crashing after updating to 2022 version

Literally cannot add text... acts like im importing a 2TB file or something....

Is there any version which works fine? I have same problem, the new one keeps freezing and I have 64GB Ram, its really slow and sometimes even preview window doesn't occur. I've tried to downgrade to 18.4 and 18.1 version. But they are also problematic. I am helpless. Sorry Adobe, but this after effect issues are on regular basis. 

I figure their sales tactic at this point is to make all their products fail on every level so we’ll finally support their competitors enough to force them out of the market.

And they're doing a great job of that!

Nonstop crashes on AE 2022. For me just switching from one comp to another causes it to hang about 30% of the time.

Adobe software crashes more than any software I've ever used, by like an order of magnitude. I've also paid them more money than any other software company I've ever paid, by like an order of magnitude. Worst deal ever. WTF is wrong with this company?

my cpu goes straigt to almost 100% while editing even when after effects doesnt do anything. pls help

Same issue here! Soooo bad. Was so excited for multi-frame but it is a huge letdown 

multiple crashes without doing anything in this piece of s h i t software.

Hey Everyone,

I had the same problems - playback not even starting, AE being super slow and so on.... working on Windows 10.

Yesterday I updated AE 2022 to the latest V22.0.1 and installed the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver NOV2021. Restarted my machine and now it's running quite smooth!

Also Media Encoder 2022: Just rendered a video with mainly 2D, quite an amount of vector layers/shape layers (mostly transferred via Overlord) and some effects like blurs etc. in A THIRD of the time. 03:33min vs 09:46min.

So for me it is working now - hope this works for you as well!

YEp ... AE 2022 has crawled my production to halt. It is HORRENDOUSLY slow and essentially unusable. I have no idea what Adobe is doing here but if it's the MFR then it has successfully become slower then SFR. 

I am rolling back to 2021 until this get fixed. AE 2022 is an utter dog.

Hello,

I had the same problem and Adobe support helped me fix it.

I am on Windoes 10, AE 22.0.1 - I did my Display driver update with the windows "update driver -> Search automatically"

I was up to date, but AE wouldn't open the Composition window.

The adobe support went to the intel driver support page, I installed the assistant - downloaded the recommended files (display drivers) and it worked.

In my case it was not an Adobe problem, it was my display driver problem.

In my case "update driver -> Search automatically" was not enough, I had to go to the Intel webpage.

On a side note

AE CPU usage with wrong driver was between 25 - 30%

AE CPU usage with new driver is 1.2%

I hope this helps someone.
