CC 2019 - Very slow

It's impressive on how this forum is filling up and Adobe is communicating absolutely nothing. They just don't give a flying ****

I have simple vector shapes and low res audio using joysticks and a few sliders and after effects is barley moving. are the expressions really taking this much computing power. I run houdini sims on the same computer and it can do millions of particles quickly. With after effects it's ridiculously slow. this has to be bad programming. I guess it could just be the plugins slowing everything down. But I doubt that's all it is.

So I had *some* success after I uninstalled/deleted as many 32 bit apps as I could using CleanMyMac. Was finally able to launch and use photoshop and illustrator again, though both are still prone to hang ups and crashing. I had to go back to Illustrator CC2018 again though, as my Wacom display, when using the pencil tool to draw, was skipping around in CC2019. I would blame Wacom, but it works perfectly in CC2018.

In short, the frustration continues. But perhaps purging your machine of those legacy apps (many of which are Adobe helpers) will help.

Hi Everyone...

Glad to see i'm not the only one having issues with a slow mac after updating Adobe CC apps. This problem of slow machine started towards end of 2018...especially for me with Adobe Premiere...

Firstly, why is there a need to update the software every 2 weeks??? I will be on a deadline for an edit and then when i want to export the edit, I can't because...the program won't work unless i update it to the latest update....which takes over an hour....and then i have to update Media Encoder and After Effects because they work hand-in-hand....that takes another 2 hours...and THEN! Machine is too slow and "run out of Application space...."! And because of all the updates, the machine holds onto an older version of every programme, in case there is work from old version that won't convert to new version!

And have had major issues exporting edits from Premiere since all these updates in the last 3 months...Help!!

When is Adobe going to sort this out???

Adobe, your programs seriously suck. How hard is it to get this right? I put off moving from 6 as long as I could as I'd heard of the problems. Finally upgraded and everything is so very very very slow. I've had to reinstall CC 3 times since Friday.

Constant crashes, 10 minutes to open an app.

Sort it out. Your programs cost a fortune now that everyone has to pay a stupid monthly license and what do we get for it? Not much.

Also having serious problems with speed in almost all CC2019 apps. New MacBook Pro 2018, 4K Eizo 27". Pluss serious slow startup in illustrator, PhotoShop and InDesign. And what's up with all those "look at this"-pop-ups. Why not just one pop-up, in the beginning, asking me if I want to look more closely at new features – they are annoying, and I keep having to click them away. And what is up with that Shift-key-thing. It was intuitive as it was – this is not MS Word, and it is not even consistent across tools Adobe Send Ideas​

I have a new Theory.

Do you folks have retina displays? Somewhat above 4k?

I disabled resolution scaling (MacOS Mojave) and now everything runs like butter.

See the radio button. Set it to Standard and see if it helps.

This wouldn't explain the problems for windows users tough

I am having the same issue. Bridge is incredibly slow. It takes forever to process after the 2019 version.

CC2019 is the biggest trash.  It's bad even for Adobe standards, and they are already very low.

I downgraded to CC2018

I feel like we've gone back to the early days of personal computing. The spinning beach ball basically comes up whenever I do ANYTHING. This is really awful. Maybe in protest we should all go back to using Letraset, pens, pencils, paint, film.
