I am completely on C4D which runs exceptionally well. After effects itself supports m1 but we use ae only as a platform whilst the plugins are most important and they perform very well on m1.

I completely switched from intel to m1 and never was happier in the last 20 years about a system change :)

I don’t know how you manage to get plugins to run well. My AE gets choked up hard with memory issues with just a Red giant/maxon FX or after cleaning roto footage. The thing just gets to choked up. Have to purge constantly. Work for 10 minutes. locks up, purge again. I’ve tried running them on rosetta as well

I am experiencing RAM issues when other Adobe Apps are open although I set their allowed RAM usage to the minimum amount. This is different to x86 where this setting really had an effect.

So even a passive Media Encoder or Illustrator are slowing down AE on M1, but when AE is running alone, its very smooth here.
