AE Crashing on MacBook M2 Max

Question

Spec's: MBPro M2 Max96 GB of RAM 4TB Internal macOS Ventura 13.4.1Using AE (Version 23.5.0 Build 52) for 2D work basically, using animator for text in a 1920x1080 Comp and that's about it. AE is absorbing 87% of my RAM and its extrememly slow chugging throuhg the timeline trying to get through rendering the green bars for simple annimations using tracking and opacity. Its crazy how slow it is. I took the same project over to my 13 years old pc - and its didn't even flinch lol blew through the the renders like nothing. Side Note for AE Settings are as followed: Media & Disk Cache settings are: Maximum Dish Cache Size: 500GB Memory & Performace Installed Ram 96GBRAM reserved for other applications: 25GBRAM acailable for AE: 71GB &#9745;&#65039; Enable Multi-Frame Rendering % CPU Reserved for other applications 21% Project Settings: Mercury Software Only Using: Open Rosetta is un-checked. Cache frames when idle is also un-checked Preview is set to Half Can anyone throw me any pointers if i have something configured wrong?

Hi DVSth,

Sorry for your issue and thanks for the details.

Does it happen with all the projects? Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? Does restarting After Effects or restarting the computer help?

Could you share a screenshot of the activity monitor while After Effects is occupying that much RAM?

We're here to help, just need more info.

Thanks,

Nishu
