60FPS Time remap / twixtor LAG

Question

Hi,So I have some 60FPS footage ive been needing to edit on after effects, but i seem to have run into a previous problem.Basically, my footage is 60FPS and I edit on 60FPS too-my comp is always set to 60FPS-but when i import this footage, slowing it down is a nightmare. I get paused frames with time remap AND twixtor. The twist is when i use 23,976FPS footage, the time remap and twixtor works perfectly fine, its smooth and the clip is easy to see. It just seems like anything from 30FPS-60FPS does not want to slow down smooth, I have tried changing my speed graphs and making the twixtor faster but no luck!I would also like to add that I asked my friend to see if this happens on their After Effects, I thought maybe it was a bug on AE's behalf, but they can edit 60FPS perfectly fine and smooth! Is this a setting I need to change? This happened on After Effects 2022 and is now happening on After Effects 2024.Would love to know if anyone has any kind of fix to this!

I have not seen this problem.

You can also slow down a 60 fps video by right-clicking on the footage in the Project Panel or using the File/Interpret Footage menu to reset the frame rate from 60 to 30, which will make it take twice as long to playback or 23.976, which to match the frame rate of your composition. That would be my preferred workflow, and then you can use Time Remapping or Twixtor to make more changes to the timing of the shot.
