Preview is stuck in a loop and is unresponsive
RAM Preview becomes unresponsive to clicks, spacebar, Num0, ESC, etc. Playback continues on loop and the only way I've found to regain control is to minimize/maximize AE or close the application.

Crash with Big Sur 11.2, unusable software
Dear Adobe, with After Effects CC2020 17.6 we have been experiencing MAJOR crashes. During rendering and sometimes scrubbing, AE just closes and goes to the desktop. It is a crash and then I have to send a bug report. I am attaching the crash logs to help you determine the issue.
We are on a Mac Pro with Big Sur 11.2 and we even tried removing ALL plugins and reinstalling all adobe software including reinstalling Big Sur, this issue is still persistent.
In the mean time we are dual booting into Catalina 10.15.7 to continue working and this is unprecedented.…

rotobrush crashes on m1 macbook pro
Hi, I've read on other issues of when rotobrush crashes on first stroke. This is NOT my issue. I'm able to generate as many strokes as I want.. but only on the first frame. As soon as I move forward (or backward), AE crashes. Help!
I am using the latest AE on the M1 Macbook Pro — I've attached my specs.

After Effects 2020 V17.6 needs to update bug regarding when using repeater.
When using repeater within shape layer. The program suddenly freezes when you are using repeater more than 1 layer whereas After Effects 2019 has no issues.
Meaning it is not the problem with overload its simply a glitch.
Please fix this bug regarding repeater use in After Effects 2020 so people can use repeater continuously in 2020 version as well.

RAM Preview not working
RAM preview frequently stops working. I'm using AE 17.6. When I'm working on a project, the RAM preview will often just stop working. It looks like it's caching, but then does nothing.. Purging memory and disc cache does nothing - only quitting and re-opening AE works. This is getting very frustrating.

BUG - Internet connection speed may cause AE to lock up with INVALID MENU OPERATION msg
BUG - Internet connection speed may cause AE to lock up with INVALID MENU OPERATION msg.
Title says it all, can reproduced 100% of the time by lowering my internet connection speed (i.e. downloads and/or uploads). This is a critical productivity issue that has started occurring today 2021-02-23 and reproduced on both latest versions of AE (had it occur before and after updating the application).

Corner pin handles not showing up on pre-comp
BUG When adding a corner pin effect, or CC power pin, the handles for the corner pin don't show up. Also the null object doesn't show up either. When you toggle the hide mask button a bunch of times and re-add the corner pin it finally shows up.

Gaussian Blur (GPU) artifacts and quality issues
Gaussian Blur (new GPU based one) has unexpected/poor results compared to the legacy one. Visual artifacts occur in 32-bit mode on adjustment layers, and in general it has a less natural, more blocky look than the traditional Gaussian Blur.

17.7 crashing opening project with missing files
AE 17.7 crashing when opening [AE 17.6] project file with 2 missing assets (2 small prores422 mov files). Had to roll back to AE17.6. Opened same project file in 17.6 and it also said that 2 files are missing, but did not crash like 17.7 did.
I'm so tired of this. It's like walking through a minefield. Before Creative Cloud AE versions were more stable - someone there was responsible for the product they are shipping.1 vote -
The latest After Effects crash when installed the Joystick N Slider Ae Script
When I open my After Effects this morning, and every time when i opened it would crash and give me an error message wrote some issues with Joystick N Slider script. It would work when I delete the script from Ae. Please check this out because this script is quite important for animators and motion designers who use Ae for everyday working. Thanks

Motion Graphics Template export fails and destroys current project
Exporting a motion graphics template sometimes fails with a missing files error (this is bug 1). This basically cancels the export, but has an even worse side effect (bug 2):
As I understand mogrt files are aftereffects projects collected and compressed into a zip file. The zip file only contains the assets that are needed for the composition exported as a mogrt. I'll call this project the "partial project", since it contains only a fraction of the original.
To achieve this, while exporting, after effects silently closes the current project in the background and opens this small partial project in…1 vote -
There is an issue with Advanced Lightning
I wanted to parent the position of a PNG to the Advanced Lightning effect’s “direction” of strike. However when I try to, I get an error saying that Advanced Lightning HAS no “direction” attribute. I used the pick whip to parent, dragging the PNG’s position to the “direction” in Advanced Lightning. I don’t know if this matters, but I’m using the “two way strike” preset.

Roto brush crashes AE when using 4k footage
There’s a bug in After Effects whilst using the rotoscope brush on 4k footage in full res. It completely crashes AE.
My footage is in MXF format

Trillions of colours AVCi Rec 709.
This has been an issue for multiple versions of AE now. Happens using roto v 1 & 2 in Standard and Best. The only workaround I've found is using it in Half res.My computer is:

Fix Software breaking Bug
Every so often when a scene in AE is 3-d tracked I lose the ability to manipulate the objects in the 3-d space. I click on the object in the scene, the item in the editing bay, and every other way to make the 3-d handles appear and nothing works. When this happens it means I have to start from scratch because I can no longer move the objects. In addition I can not make the 3-d trackers reappear in the scene, even if I change the size of the track points. This typically brings them back into the scene…
