Third-party plug-ins that have already been ported for Apple silicon should show up and behave as expected. In these cases, please contact the third-party developer to see if there is a new version available that has been updated for Apple silicon.Īll third-party plug-ins must be updated by their developers in order to be compatible with After Effects running natively on Apple silicon. With the large number of plug-ins, scripts, and extensions available for After Effects, it is likley that some of them may not work when After Effects (Beta) is running natively on Apple silicon. C4D Renderer Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.1.1.50 and later.Cineware Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.1.1.50 and later.Mocha AE Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.2.0.30 and later.Keylight Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.2.0.30 and later.Importing clips using the Cineform codec.Importing Animate/Flash files Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.3.0.82 and later.Content-Aware Fill for Video Available in After Effects (Beta) 22.2.0.99 and later.All of the listed components should continue to work if After Effects (Beta) is run under Rosetta. These features are still in the process of being ported for Apple silicon. We will post updates to this forum as these issues are fixed and new builds become available. There are currently a few limitations and known issues when running After Effects (Beta) natively on Apple silicon which are listed below.
Since After Effects and Premiere Pro share components for many media formats, you can expect to see the same media types available for use in After Effects (Beta) as are available in Premiere Pro on Apple silicon. After Effects has greatly benefited from the work done to bring Premiere Pro to Apple silicon, which included our team porting AE's render pipeline to support Motion Graphics Templates. This first version of After Effects (Beta) for Apple silicon contains all the core functionality of the app, including nearly all native effects, all layer types, Roto Brush 2, Draft 3D, and, of course, Multi-Frame Rendering. We are looking forward to hearing your feedback! Please also try it out together with the latest Betas of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. You are invited to test it out and please let us know if anything isn't working as you expect. Starting today in build 22.1.1.9, After Effects (Beta) will run natively on Macs that use the Apple M1 family of processors. We are very pleased to announce that a version of After Effects which runs natively on Apple silicon is now available for beta testing.
