The current build of After Effects Beta (v22.6 build 21) is exhibiting much, much better behavior than previous releases, due to fixes applied to how font glyph tables are built. The long delays appear to be resolved, though in some cases I still see a short delay. (The developer who has been working on this code has done their best to resolve this, but some of the problems remain with the fonts themselves or in code that would require much more extensive revision.)
If you were experiencing this problem, please test the same project, comp, and fonts in the daily builds of After Effects Beta.
If you're still experiencing a delay when using certain fonts, could you please:
- Send a screen capture video of the behavior in the current build of After Effects Beta, as well the same project, comp, or font in an older release of After Effects where…

Appears to be compounded by pre comping.
For fun, I have gone through the sort of tedious manual process of 'unprecomping' the mogrt with astounding effect on rendering performance.

With the matrices of brands, rules for cross-referencing, aspect ratios etc. in our mogrts, this manual step remains prohibitively cumbersome and introduces a lot of duplication of designs and consequently a very high maintenance cost.
So yes, a thorough review of linked essential properties and caching remains a priority for us!An error occurred while saving the comment Ole Kristensen

What I would suggest would be to expose a property called 'unstrechedTime' or 'parentTime' or, 'hostTimeline' (nomenclature is up to you) on a layer or comp that would allow expressions to do calculations to solve the above using the time from Premiere, ideally with both a relative and an absolute time.
I've done it when nesting a responsive comp and stretching it by exposing a 'unstrechedTime' slider as an essential property. Then in the parent comps layer, i've set it to time.
This won't work in a mogrt as there's no automatic way to pass the Premiere timecode into a essential property.
I see this as a path to achieve responsive formats as well - where one comp could automatically stretch to different aspect ratios in the host. Imagine that you could define how a mogrt should handle aspect ratios (fill, cover, stretch) and having a 'essentialHost' object with data from Premiere:
essentialHost.absoluteTime
essentialHost.time
essentialHost.width
essentialHost.height
essentialHost.aspect
essentialHost.fps (or more AE conformant properties for frame duration etc.)This would in our production situation reduce our corporate essential grapics template count to a third, as we now export every template in High, Square and Wide versions to account for at least most of the different SoMe video formats that are out here.

Hi Emilio, did you recover from the glitches? Has there been a fix in later versions?

I'm interested in whether you have had any progress on this issue since the original post. We have a farm that also spends far to much time lingering...

Yep - The only thing needed to script this would be the ability to get to the source property in a master comp from it's master properties when used as layer.
Something like:
thisComp.layer("Fancy sign").masterProperty("Title Text").source;
thisComp.layer("Fancy sign").masterProperty("Fancy Slider").source;Should be able to return a reference akin to:
comp("Fancy Sign").layer("Text").sourceText
comp("Fancy Sign").layer("CONTROLS").effect("Fancy Slider")("Slider")Ole Kristensen

The exported mogrt is just a zip file, and the thumb can be replaced. I’ve scripted our exports and added an export of a frame marked with “THUMB” as a step before export and replacement in the zip after export
