Initializing animation presets

New Here ,
Oct 15, 2019 Oct 15, 2019

Hello.. I installed some of presets but I am disturbed because ae always keep saying "Initializing animation presets" 

It takes too long. Is there a way to close that auto-load? Thank you for now!

Stock answer: You have too many and your disks are slow. You could consider weeding out the unused ones of course. Also note that if you use preset localization for different languages this can also increase lookup times considerably, so maybe turn that option off and use the plain English names instead. Otherwise there is not much you can do about it other than buying a faster harddrive. It's just how AE works.

I've never heard of such a message when only the default presets are installed.

Have you installed any 3rd party presets?

Hi Kevin, two of my posts earlier today are missing. I've actually been noticing strangeness the past few months and can finally confirm this.

Are you able to look into this? TIA


PS - I see them now - very strange.

removing animation presets does make the loading stop, but it also removes the animation presets.

this was never an issue until the last version or so when ever i posted.

Did you remove the presets or disable them in the Effects & Presets panel as suggested in the thread shared by Kevin? What version of After Effects are you using? Are you on macOS or Windows? 


Thanks,
Nishu

did you read my last post - I already mentioned turning off the presets stops the loading, but it also means the presets are turned off. If you use the presets at all, that doesnt solve the issue.

The animation presets never cause this loading screen prior to ae 25.

I am on ae 25.2.2 mac os 14.7.6

I wanted to confirm whether you removed or disabled the presets. Removing and disabling are two different actions. I am assuming you disabled the presets. Can you try the steps mentioned in the following article and see if that helps: https://adobe.ly/3Ti4LWF

Let me know.


Thanks,
Nishu
