Hello.

I use Macbook M1 with lastest Bigsur. After effects 18.4. 
I also try to reinstall After effects, and I try 18.2 version. Still dont work.

The bug is caused by the IOS 11..15.1 updates. It is documented, bug reports are filed, and every available version of AE will crash immediately if you try and propagate Rotobrush. We will have to wait for an update. It may take a while. Premiere Pro, Audition, and a bunch of other Adobe apps are already Universal (M1 compliant) but After Effects, even AE Beta is still a universal app that needs to run under Rosetta.

Most of the time, before I run an IOS update or a Windows update, I make a bootable copy of my boot drive co I can roll back in a couple of minutes if there are problems. This was one time I got caught so my M1 Mac is useless for Rotobrush until an update fixes the bug caused by Apple "improving" security. It's a killed background process that causes the crash.

As mentioned by Rick Gerard, Its the update that is causing the crash. 

But I found a workaround, 

Once you did painting with roto brush, before proceeding to the next frame.

Change the roto brush version to classic.

It works that way. 

Note : But even after IOS 11.6 update the crash continues.

I had the same problem and I noticed the following: When my working space in in "None" I have no problem with Rotobrush. When I activate a specific working space color profile (for examble, I am always working using the color profile of my monitor calibration) then rotobrush crashes. If I have working color space off, it works fine, if it is on, it crashes. So I do my rotobrush work with no color space and after I am done, I reactivate the working space. If I use "None" as my working space, then I am not having any issues.

I moved the rotobrush setting back to 1.0 classic and it seemed to fix the issue for the clip I needed.

This is causing one of my projects to crash. It's 2023. I'm on a mac m1 max. Hitting caps lock prevents it from crashing, and selecting Version 1 Classic in the drop down. But WTF? It worked when I built the project just a week ago.

Same thing happened to me. My project worked fine after hours in the session, then I come back to it a few days layer and it crashes in seconds.

 

How do you select Version 1 Classic? Which dropdown?

Hitting the caps lock key as the project loads will buy you some time as it prevents a render refresh.

Same issue for me. Adobe, this is unacceptable. It's costing my company money.

Yeah, it's frustrating. But hitting the caps lock key when the title screen is loading (might take a few tries) does buy you time to change to the old rotobrush so it stops crashing and you regain control of your project. At least, it worked for me.

After some experimentation, I found that the program crashed if I was in the "standard" workspace.  But not if I was in the "animation" workspace.

Never mind.  I worked for a short time.  Now can't get it to work at all.  Even uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
