AE crashing with c4d model

[issie_curr_24]

Hi all, I posted this in discussion but was told its best to report as a bug, so sorry for the duplicate post!  

I built a model in c4d and originally keyframed a camera to orbit the object within c4d, but I was struggling with it. So I imported the c4d file to AE, and extracted the projects components (through the Cineware plugin) so that I could control the camera within AE. It worked for the most part at the beginning, but now its crashing frequently, with triggers being when I drag the playhead to create a keyframe, preview (play) or move the camera.

The 'last error log' comes up different with every crash but the most recent one read: 

<111646> <TimeNeedle> <3> CTLOutlinePano TimeNeedle_ScrubRebuildOffscreen drawing, frame=532,0,595,149

AE works in other projects without c4d models, and no other issues. What I'm trying to achieve is a basic camera orbit around the object, but can't move the camera without it crashing. Any advice welcome! 

Running AE 22.6.0 on a MacBook Pro M1 Max with one external monitor, and no other performance taxing programs at the same time.

Hi @issie_curr_24,

Thank you for reporting this crash. This is a known issue and we've been working with Maxon to get this issue resolved for M1 Macs. A fix will be shipping with the next release version of After Effects. Until that version is released, the latest After Effects (Beta) builds also have the fix which should allow you to use Cineware and the C4D renderer on M1 Macs. Beta builds are available under the Beta section in the Creative Cloud app.

Thanks again for making this report,
