  • After Effects 2023 Wacom Brush Tool Crashes

    Posted by Matthew Woods on April 6, 2023 at 1:43 pm

    Does anyone else have a Wacom tablet that they can test with? The latest After Effects 2023 is crashes immediately on my mac when using the brush tool with a Wacom tablet, or when trying to render a project that contains brush strokes created with a Wacom tablet. The brush tool seems to work fine if you use a mouse. I’ve reported it to Adobe, but it would be good to get some confirmation that others have the issue as well.

    Yes, confirmed! I just tried this, and using a Wacom with the brush tool is an instant crash on Ae 23.3 (latest), Wacom driver 6.4.1-2 (latest), macOS 12.6.4 (latest Monterey release), both running natively for Apple silicon and running under Rosetta emulation.

    Mouse strokes are fine.

    I can confirm the same crash scenarios, ’22 Mac Studio running latest AFX and a Wacom Intros Pro… doesn’t like the brush tool!

    Wow! I’m having the same issue. Thank you Walter for pointing me in the right direction. What a weird bug.

    Just saw there was a new version of AE and updated hoping they had fixed this, but no dice. According to Adam’s post on the Adobe Support Community they have fixed it in the beta version though. Thanks for posting that Adam! And thanks for the verification Walter and Matthew!

    Does it matter which Wacom?

    We have the Intuos Pro mediums and large.

    I can test tomorrow.

    Intuos Pro Large on Mac Pro 2019 Ventura and 6.4.1 Wacom drivers work fine.

    We used the paint on solid as a test run.

    No crashes here.
