I am very sorry but I have been using After Effects Beta on the M1 Max for months, while it looked very good at first, it turns out being EXTREMELY slow for sometimes dead simple projects. It is absolutely not usable. At first I thought of blaming the M1 Max or my laptop but DaVinci Resolve works so amazingly well with no issues that I think it's really an Adobe problem guys. I had to move AE back to my PC workstation since I run it on a daily basis. You should not have pulled the M1 support out from beta I think

Exact same problem here on the Macbooks M1 / M1 Pro. Just drops with no reason, the CPU isn't hot and plenty of memory left.

Little update. Turns out I also got the issue on the M1 (not pro) . So it looks like we have the same problem whatever the M1 type.

Hello John, Thanks for your reply. Here is the project file : https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20211102NQGOheBV After deeper investigation I found a few more things : The CPU activity drop always happens at around frame 37-38 on this project I get better performance after an After Effects restart (rebooting laptop does not change anything) The M1 MacBook 13 inch renders the project at full speed with no issue. 2-3 times faster render speed. This CPU drop ONLY happens on the M1 Pro 16 inch In another very heavy project (500 layers) I don’t have that CPU drop, it just renders at full power the whole time, wether it be on the 13 inch M1 or 16 inch M1 Pro Running latest Monterey OS update 12.0.1 on both laptops. Both have the same level of RAM (16Gb) and available RAM. Of course, I purge ALL memory and disk cache between each render. Below is a picture of the CPU activity on the M1 Pro. ( I didn’t do it on the standard M1 because it is always running full speed with no issues throughout each render) Below is a picture of my preferences on both Laptops. I turned on Metal acceleration for all the tests because in the end it doesn’t look like it has an impact. Any ideas ?

Memory usage looks okay though and plenty of disk space too :

Hello, Works fantastic and it's very promising as a first impression! Well done guys ! Going to make a youtube review soon. I just have one big issue. When I start a render on an M1 Pro 16 inch 16GB RAM Macbook Pro (Mercury Software Only), I get a very fast render when I boot the computer. And then as I relaunch multiple times the same render ( and I purge all the cache each time) the speed of the renders go down and down. On the first render I get close to 80-90% stable CPU usage. And on the second or third render I get these spikes (see photo below) I have plenty of SSD space and RAM is not full. Tried hardware acceleration using Metal.. no success It's not throttling due to heat since I've set the fans to run at maximum speed, the laptop is very cold. Any ideas ?
