Crash when using OpenGL-accelerated plug-ins

Last updated on 24 Oct 2024

Issue: A crash can occur when certain plug-ins try to use the GPU while the “Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels” preference is enabled.

Plug-ins that can display this behavior include:

Open the Preferences dialog box to the Display category
Disable the “Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels” preference

In the upcoming version of After Effects contention for GPU resources are prevented so that this problem doesn’t occur.
