Last log message was: <29403> <SonyRawDecoder> <5> Found compatible GPU device for SonyRaw decode

I have the M1 Macbook pro and I have installed the After Effects beta version, and has been using stock effects up until tonight when I decided to install some free plugins. After installing them, I attempted to load AE and it gave me the error message "Last log message was: <29403> <SonyRawDecoder> <5> Found compatible GPU device for SonyRaw decode support."   I've tried deleting all plugins & scripts I've downloaded, and even uninstalled and reinstalled AE. Still getting the same message. Please help as I've got multiple projects I need to finish ASAP and this is nothing other than horribly inconveinient.

At this point there is realyl nothing anyone can do. M1 Macs have severe compatibility issues with pretty much any Adobe software. Either it works or it doesn't. And well, not to point out the obvious, if this happened only after installing soem third-party stuff the answer is more likely getting rid of that than looking for fixes from Adobe themselves.

I realized that installing the 3rd party plugins caused the problems, hence why I wiped them from my machine and did a fresh install of AE. Didn't reinstall them after. Still won't open. Which is why I'm here, asking Adobe for help so I can use the program(s) I pay for.

SAME PROBLEM!! ADOBE!! HELP!!

Currently After Effects 2021 runs via an emulator (Rosetta 2) on M1 Macs. Don't expect all plugins or file formats to be supported. You can tryout the Beta as Adobe is working on a native M1 version. But, no guarentees.

More users have issues with the SonyRawDecoder.

Nevermind, I deleted a third party plug in I had installed recently, thank god for being able to hit search and type the plugin name and all the info and small files showing up. Select all + delete of all the files of that specific third party plugin worked for me.

In my case it was cinema grade.
