Add to Render Queue extremely slow AE2025

• Issue

Since version 2025, when it comes time to add my compositions to the Render Queue (CTRL+M), it takes a long time before they are added. This was never a problem before. It was done instantly. I am doing the test on a local disk, so it is not a network slowness problem. I do the same operation with version 2024 which is still installed on my computer and I do not have this problem. I did a test: add 100 compositions to the Render Queue.     v2025=3min 22 sec    v2024=instantly

• Adobe After Effects version number 25.1.0(Build 68)
• Operating system  Windows 10 Pro 22H2
• Steps to reproduce - CTRL+M 
• Expected result - Selected comps added to Render Queue instantly
• Actual result -  Long wait for that to happend

Hello @Francois29491359ewma,

Do you use an output module template? If so, could you share that with us? As a naive test of adding 100 simple comps to the RQ only takes ~2 seconds in a check done internally.

Here's my output module file presets.
My default preset is named: QuickTime Animation+Alpha Straight MUET

In case that file is the problem, here are the specs:

I've reset AE's preferences. The Add to Render Queue command worked great.
I've re-imported my module settings. THEN it became slow. I don't know why, these were the same presets as AE 2024.
Something incompatible (or less compatible) beetween those versions.
I've rebuild my output module presets from scratch and it worked.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
