AE Intialize GPU goes forever ?

Report · Mar 05, 2023

Hi,

In the latest AE 2023.xx I'm constantly getting "initialize GPU" on each start which then takes 2-3 minutes to finish. I've not changed GPU for a month, but I'm still getting that message/progress bar. If I hit minimize, I don't see anything in the project timeline (just black screen) ?

How can I prevent stop that behaviour, it makes my AE unusable ?

I have TR PRO, 256 GB RAM, RTX 3090 GPU + 2*RTX 4090 GPUs (3 GPUs in system) and latest Nvidia Studio drivers. So my PC is very responsive but AE sluggish and full of bugs since 2023 updates.

Please help, Thanks

Did you try to turn off GPU.
Or do you try to reset the preferences? https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...
And this question need to be posted in the After Effects forum.

Hi, sorry for wrong forum post, not sure how it ended up in Photoshop section, can Mods please move it to AE forum?
Thanks

Where do i turn off GPU ?

P.S. I'm not keen on resetting preferences to lose my workspace/key shortcuts... Or that will be intact ?
Thanks
