When applying Smoother to the position property on a 60fps/6 minute layer, with a keyframe on every frame (created with convert expression to keyframes)  the system hangs (After Effects not responding).

 

Steps to reproduce:
    1. ...use wiggle expression on position property for a layer.

2. convert expression to keyframes

3. apply Smoother to position property
 
Result: ...crash (Adobe Effects Not responding, spinning beachball)
Expected: ...Smoother to work
 
System info
    Application: After Effects (Beta) v22.1.1.68
    OS: macOS v12.0.1, RAM: 32,00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 10

By the way, the same bug occurs in After Effects 22.0.1 (not the Beta) running under Rosetta2, so not just in AE Beta (22.1.1)

System: MacbookPro M1Max/32GB RAM

 

The described smoother operation ran fine (but slow) on my previous system, a 2017 MacBookPro with just 16GB of RAM.
