AE CC 2017 full of bugs

> I’m having a similar issue with one particular project where I’m not able to use my preview function, so I’m basically having to animate by force scrubbing.
> Oddly, I can’t use the “redo” function either. It remains greyed out.
> When I start a new project preview and “redo” work fine. When I import the project I’m having issues with preview and “redo” both stop working. Deleted the project file from the new project and both features started working again.

Nick, would you be willing to share your project with me so I could take a look at it?

Feel free to email me the link if you don’t want to share it publicly. myLastName at myCompanyName dot com.

Thanks for the response Tim. Not sure how I’d go about sharing the project with you since there are a several hundred GB’s of files cut together at this point. Any ideas?

[Tim Kurkoski]

Nick, I may or may not need to inspect the footage. Just the .aep may be sufficient.

Does every comp in the project have the problem, or only certain comps? If you reduce the project to the problematic comps, does that shrink the file size?

Dropbox, FTP, or whatever file transfer service you prefer is fine. I can arrange for an FTP on my side, but please email me first and we’ll work out the details privately.

As I’m the one who started this thread, I wanted to add my 2 cents: I’ve waited til the beginning of March to reinstall AE 2017, and now everything works like a charm. Though I wanted to ask a question to everyone using CC 2017: does the interface seems snappier to you comparing to other versions? Rendering time seems to be the same but building the project, adding effects and generally working on the project seems a bit faster, I wonder if Adobe teams are working on this specifically before re-engineering the rendering process.

PS: that would be cool if some of you could do this test https://vimeo.com/118053656 to see if clock speed beats multi processing once again in the new AE 2017.

Here’s my result:

Setup: Mac Pro 5.1 32GB RAM, XEON 2X6 core at 2,66GHZ, Nvidia GTX 960 4GB

AE CC 2014 with MP ON: 5:38sec

AE CC 2017: 7:7sec
