After effects keeps freezing my computer

[#1]

I haven't ever had this problem until today. I can work on my project for about 5 mins and then everything freezes and i have to manually power down my computer. I can be doing anything, from choosing a font to selecting a vector point to searching for an effect.

I have:

MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017)

Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics Radeon Pro 560 4 GB

using 500gb of the 1tb drive

and am using

after effects cc 2020

Hi catherinepleased,

Sorry for your issue. I see that you're having trouble with Afte Effects.

Could you check if it's happening with a particular project or all of them? Do you see any error message? Also, are you able to create a new project and work?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks for the details. It sounds like an issue with this particular project. Try importing this project into a new one and see if it works any better.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
