you'll need to say what "not rendering right" is. This last year, updates have broken rendering 9 ways from blargsday. mp4 export was reintroduced after 7 years, only for the worldwide standard to be un-renderable on gpu's, to importing videos turning green, to exports corrupting source footage, to having gpu enabled just breaking all rendering altogether, to multi-frame rendering being unstable, to rendering 22% slower than CS6... you gotta give us symptoms. the program's on its last legs and falling apart, so please show us what broke so we can tell you if we've seen that happen before!
sadly, 16 gigs is definitely not par- it's bare minimum, any less and you cannot expect the program to run.
if you got a new computer (and good heavens a mac would be a mistake for something this inefficient) to use this program, I don't know what to say. you could spend about $4500 on a ryzen 7950x3d with a 4090, and 128gigs of ddr5 memory and still only come out with about 5x more continuous playback and that's it.
AE was not made for multi-core machines, or GPU's, or tons of RAM. none of those were available, but they hacked in some slight compatibility over the years, like duplicating render processes for each cpu core instead of figuring out miltithreading. Expecting it to be able to handle the M1/M2, which is an entire system on a chip? that's half a decade away before these devs get to it.
but hey, uhhh you can give your keyframes colors and outlines now! isn't that neat?
