Keyframe Color Labels: One of the top-voted feature requests —colored keyframes— has been added to After Effects 22.6. Keyframe color labels allow you to assign colors to keyframes in the composition. Coloring your keyframes helps you to organize, identify, and quickly locate critical components of your composition. You can also use the color labels to quickly select keyframes with the same color group. Label colors can be seen even when the keyframes are selected. When the keyframes are selected, they have a blue outline to differentiate them from your assigned color labels. For more details on how to use color labels, see the Keyframe Color Labels help page.

I reported an issue on another post, but the issues remain. In fact they have gotten worse with this update, now when i open a project i am often getting a crash with an error Last log message was: <433945> <CPInfoPane> <1> Error: 517

I can clear this error by resetting preferences, and the project loads.

I can have 2 files in the render queue - one will render without issue but then the second always comes out like the attached. Again i can clear this by quitting and reopening. Purging the cache doesn't fix this alone - it will continue either exporting like this - or it renders out, but the file doesn't open, amost isn't recognised by the OS.

I'm using the most updated version of MacOS 12.5.1, MacPro 16core 192gb RAM ProVega II GPU

The issues are driving me mad.

Hi @DavidJackson,

The two issues you reported with After Effects 22.6 have been resolved in After Effects 23.0, which was released earlier today.

Again, thanks for your patience and for reporting these issues.

Best,

Rameez

Whilst the update has fixed some things it's also brought new issues.

Loading AE is incredibly slow now, like 23 seconds from hitting the icon to it launching the application. The splash screen still can't launch recent projets either, and i've had 3 instances of the composition panel not being able to preview a simple mp4 on the timeline. Until i restarted the application. AGH.
