Hi, after upgrading to After Effects16.1, the software is much slower and Adobe Media Encoder 2019 does not work well, indeed the video encoding does not start. What can I do?

Thanks for any reply.

    The problem is solved - I think it was some error with my computer. Now it works perfectly. Thanks for help!

    Same issue! Feel like cache is stuck or something. Playback is super slow although my cache limit is set to 250 GB and 30GB is full. After restarting After Effects it works faster for some time and then it goes slow again. i7 7700HQ, 32GB RAM, 1050 GTX and 970 evo plus 1TB SSD.

    Hi, I don´t know which version I had before. Might have been 16.1.

    Can I find out somehow?

    When I click Apps/After Effects/Manage/Other versions I get 16.1, 16.0.1, 16.0, 15.1.2 if that gives any clue.

    Hi Fredrik,

    Please help me understand this better. Does Media Encoder launch but the AE file doesn't show up in the queue or does Media Encoder not launch at all?

    We'd also need to know more about your computer. (OS/Memory/CPU)

    Which version of AME is installed in your computer?

    Looking forward to hear back from you.
