After Effects 17.7 is now available for download from the Creative Cloud desktop application. This update provides bug-fixes and improvement to general quality.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented dragging to reorder more than one effect at a time in the Effect Controls panel.
  • Fixed an issue that caused tools at the bottom of the Lumetri Scopes panel to be clipped on a HiDPI Windows system.
  • Fixed an issue with Content-Aware Fill that caused a color shift in generated fill layers when switching Project Working Space from ProPhoto RGB to Rec.709 Gamma 2.4.
  • Fixed an issue in the Content-Aware Fill options where the lighting correction checkbox would show as checked when a Fill Method that didn’t support lighting correction was selected.
  • Fixed an issue with Content-Aware Fill when using 16bpc projects.
  • Fixed an issue where CMYK files may shift colors unexpectedly when the Project Working Space is linearized or using a non-display-style color profile.
  • Fixed an issue where an Alpha channel dialog may display incorrectly when importing a CMYK Photoshop file.
  • Fixed an issue where expression edits made in the Graph Editor were not applied consistently.

Playback in real-time doesn't work on my computer with 17.6 and the new 17.7 version, even if the timeline is cached.
Playback did work well with 17.5.
I have a MacBook Pro with BigSur 11.2
