After working on this project for a week, my iStat menus are reporting that all 12 cores are at 100% when I just have Ae running and no comps even open.  Computer is correspondingly very sluggish and beach-bally (OSX).

I deleted prefs and un- and re-installed Ae and it persisted.

It only happens with one project that’s gotten pretty large - lots of tracking and 3D camera solves.  Keyframes galore.  Each save takes around 30 seconds.

I think I fixed it.  It was laborious:


I have 10 comps in the corrupt Project.
Select Comp 01, Reduce Project, Save As “Comp 01-100” (100 is for my CPUs pegging at 100%)
Create New Project.
Import Comp 01-100 - CPU levels go back to normal: what I expect for an idling Ae Project.
Save as "Comp 01 only.”

Repeat process after opening original 10-com corrupt project for all 10 Comps.

I might import all 10 Comps into a master Project again, but only after I start feeling lucky again.

Posting this in case anybody else runs into a similar issue.



Epilog / PS.  This didn’t work on one Comp.  So, I opened the Comp.  Select all Layers.  Copy.  Create New Project and Comp.  Paste.  Relink footage.   I got an error message telling my footage was tracked on a 360 x 180 layer (??? - Not true), but my tracking data was fine.  I just deleted the Mocha Pro plug-in that created the data, and all is well.  Save.
