Essential Graphics with awful performance on m4 max macbook pro

Community Beginner ,
Mar 25, 2025 Mar 25, 2025

Whenever I import a Mogrt into any proyect (it's worst if the mogrt is a little complex in animations) it completly breaks real time preview, no matter the resolution, it stops previewing in real time and worst than that, it freezes on the frame any mogrt starts and takes almost 6 seconds to render a frame, all this with 1080p footage on a M4 Max. It's astonishing.
Also, not only preview lags terribly, but properties panel changes also work awful, ultra slow. It's a complete pain to just adjust the scale or position on any element. What makes it obvious that it's a bug is that if I change position or scale with the visual tools on preview windows it works fast and flawless.

I work with premiere every day and just know I started working with a macbook, in windows never had that problem. Any help would be fantastic, as the performance is terrible.
My hardware is a Macbook Pro M4 Max with 64gb of ram. Already tried reinstall, clean cache, working with prores only and also changing animations in after to see if it afects performance, like disabling blur motion, but nothing improves. The mogrt are simple text motion graphics.

Hello @Benjamin27341974acqq,

Thanks for the post. Can you share more information, like the .mogrt file? See, How do I write a bug report?

 

I could not reproduce that issue. We'll have to wait for a response from developers to find out what's truly going on.

 

Sorry about this.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for replying Kevin and sorry I didn't answer before, was really busy.

Here is a link to a screenrecording I made to showcase the problem and a collect folder of the test project y made. The link is open for everyone who wants to see the problem or to any developer that can take the case.
In the recording I show how it is with just footage and then how it gets slow and choppy with mogrts, one really simple and the other a little more complex. Also how properties panel and lumetri work really slow.

Thanks, and any help is welcomed as I work with this every time.

Turn off Composite in Linear color in the sequence settings.

See if that will help.

Thanks for your answer. Turning off Composite did solve the slowness of lumetri and properties panel on footage, but all lag and slowness with mogrt remains unchanged.

If your renderbar is red: try rendering.

Yeah, also I can export the video, almost in the same time, and the preview in quicktime will be flawless. Not the problem here. The problem is in the optimization of essential graphics on mac, it's atrocious. In windows, I can throw the same mogrt in a AMD 5800x an it works far better than in a M4 Max. That's a big compatibility problem.

You are absolutely right. Considering how much was paid for 64gb of RAM, I don't need half of that budget on windows to have a smooth sailing. I'm on the M4 max 48gb, really terible
