After Effect running slow on m1 pro 2021

[Awais Butt]

Hi, I just want to know I recently shift to MacBook and I have Mac M1 Pro 2021. I used adobe premiere pro and it works perfectly either timeline or renders but today I work on video and use after Effects and that makes me shocked because after effect is very slow and the timeline takes so long to load. 

I do change my render to CPU which is mac built-in but still very low, can someone please guide me what's wrong with that because I wasn't expected such performance.

Hi Awais Butt,

Welcome to the community.

Is it the After Effects interface or playback that's slow (could you share a screen recording)? What are the details of the footage you imported (frame rate, frame size, format/codec)? Also, does it happen in all the projects?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu

Well, it's playback, I mean when I click on render preview it's load slow but other actions are going well.
Also I just started project on new device so I will check more work soon but for testing I used to upload new project and it's also play slow then I let me render preview 1/2 

Thanks for your support 🙂

Also, because you are using an Apple Silicon M1 Pro Mac, make sure you updated to the After Effects 22.3 update which came out yesterday. It’s the first Apple Silicon native release, so performance should be far superior to running the Intel version on an M1 Mac.

Ok, I will update soon and hopefully, it will fix 🙂
Thanks for the help
