Hello, I ve updated After Effects from 25.01 to 25.1 and the main problem I ve got - it is very slow feedback from AE preview window. Unfortunately, I have to install previous 25.01 version and it is ok now. The newest 25.1 version doesn't work for me.

My preview screen is also freezing. Tried to scale some footage to fit screen, I can see that after changing scale property footage bounds box changes it's scale, but preview screen still showing unscaled footage. Turning layer (with footage) visibility on and off still doesn't hide footage on preview screen - it's like frozen. Then cursos changes to spinner for some time, stops spinning, but any click on screen or menu item triggers spinner again and again, so basically I have to force quit. Tried restart few times - unusable. I'm forced to downgrade. That's insane.

Glad to hear! When will we be able to run and use Adobe After Effects on our WindowsARM computers? And is there a discount on the Adobe Creative Suite subscription planned for Windows ARM users who cannot run all of the applications included in the subscription on their Windows 11 devices because they are not available for this system?

I thought this update might fix the frequent crashes when an mp4 is in the project. But no, still happening.

25.1 and I still get major rendering errors on a 4080ti with 16gb of memory and 64gb or ram trying to render a 1 minute 40 second clip. Error code 1609629695. Adobe, you have a long ways to go.

It’s great to see After Effects 25.1 now available for download! While many exciting features come with this update, I understand the frustration of losing the ability to change the highlight color. In previous versions, using Cmd + F12 to enable "Enable_Theme_Colorizing" allowed users to adjust the highlight color in "Settings - Appearance." It would be awesome if Adobe could bring this feature back in future updates. Customizing the interface helps improve the user experience and allows for more personalization. Let’s hope we see this feature return soon!
