After Effects 17.1.3 crashes constantly.
I'm trying to make changes from notes, just copying and pasting TC to make adjustments, and every 10 minutes programs just crashes and instantly closes. I'm losing time and I can't afford to waste any. Are you guys working on this or just not making any real changes in these updates? Why am I crashing all the time? AE and one tab of FireFox are the only things running on my machine. iMac 32GB RAM i7.

PLUGIN ACTIVATE - DEACTIVATE PANEL
So lets face it. Stability is a big issue with After Effects. I have sent more than fifty fault reports to you over the last week (AE 2020). I have used the software daily since version 01.
Every time there is stability issues, the obvious request is remove you plugins, and test stability. Then re-install them 1 by 1 until you can rectify the fault. This works sometimes, not every time, and takes forever to do if you have a lot of plugins installed. It's just lost time on a grand scale.
So make it easy for us. Give us…

Ram preview won't play
Whenever I turn on/off my bluetooth headset, my RAM previews no longer play back. I can see the green bar progressing, but nothing updates in the Comp window. When I hit "space" or "0" nothing happens. Then, if I go to Preferences > Audio Hardware and change the output to my speakers or back to the newly turned on bluetooth, everything works fine again. I've also had it when I didn't change anything with my audio devices and the previews stop working, but going to Audio Hardware and just clicking back and forth on options there usually fixes it.

Add Media to Project While RAM Preview Is Playing
After Effects crashes every time I try to add media to my project or timeline while RAM Preview is playing (I often forget myself and drag stuff in while Preview is playing because you can do this in most DAWs).
So, the current behavior is that AE seems to think it can add media while RAM previewing, and it tries, but it fails every time and crashes. I think the behavior should be one of two options, whichever is possible to achieve:
1) Fix the function so it works: let me drag stuff in while RAM Preview is playing without…

Fix non-working 'Import-Photoshop-file-as-composition' in AE 2020 - version 17.1.4 (Build 37)
When importing Photoshop-files as a composition in After Effects 2019 it works fine. When trying to do the same thing with the same Photoshop-files in After Effects 2020, the app goes into 'non-responsive' -mode and does not recover.
I found workaround where I import the Photoshop-file(s) in AE 2019, save it as a separate project-file and import it in AE 2020. :-/
Hope this problem will be fixed soon ...

Mercury Transmit issue in 16.1
Just upgraded to 16.1 and I can no longer access my external monitor. Mercury transit automatically switches to "monitor 2" when I need it to stay on "monitor 1" even after I reset my preferences.

Essential graphics currently is buggy.
There are several problems that my team have faced due to essential graphics.
illegal xml character
When a text has a line break done by "Shift + enter", instead of "enter".
This creates a illegal xml character that can only be seen by pc and not mac. Space in the text becomes this small box which causes multiple error pop ups during file opening.Essential graphics still exists in a reduce file.
Although the project has been reduced with the composition with the essential graphics deleted, saving this file after and dragging it to any project or opening it will…

All versions above and including 17.1 lock up audio and video drivers?
As the title states, starting from version 17.1 AE locks up any and all parallel media playbacks on my Windows machine. Version 17.0.6 works fine.
This means that I can not play any audio or video files in external software when After Effects is running.They simply freeze.. UNTIL I play the timeline in AE, then the drivers unfreeze and playback of media outside of AE resumes.
Even in browsers this is the case. A youtube video actually pauses and plays in sync with starting/stopping playback in AE.
I have the latest version available for Windows and NVidia and Steinberg…1 vote -
After Effects error: time argument is out of range
After Effects spams this error when I try open the graph editor on a layers position keyframes.
I have a long comp, roughly 6min long. I have constant curser layer animating over the other comps (only position and scale). I tried to go back and fix an issue in the graph editor and that error box then constantly pops up. It only happens on this layer's position property and until I went back and tried to fix the issue I have been animating with the layer with no issue. Now I am unable to edit that layers position property in…

Bug: Duplicating composition resets entire project's essential properties
To replicate bug, I duplicated a composition which contains a layer that uses a master property controlled by a dropdown effect. Immediately upon copy and paste of the composition in the Project window, ALL master properties controlled by a dropdown effect across the entire project are reset to their default. In the history dropdown under the Edit menu, tons of actions are suddenly added that were not user initiated including dozens of "pull properties"

Why doesn't after effects auto save an untitled project?
After effects should auto save any file. I just lost my entire day's work because I didn't have my project saved before After Effects crashed. Why wouldn't after effects try to at least salvage what I had?
