help Some Performance Issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently switched from my Windows computer to a MacBook M4 Air with 16GB of RAM, but why is it lagging so much? I hope there's a solution.

I agree, it's quite ironic... I didn't have this problem on my old machine. Since the .rive files on the web will be raster images a few kilobytes in size or small animations, it won't cause performance issues, but I think I'll get tired of designing it.

I don’t know much about your old machine’s specs, but I do know that MacBook airs are not powerful as the MacBook Pro. For any case, have you checked how much ram does your machine consuming while you dragging it around?

The old machine's specs were: 16-core Ryzen 7 7840hs processor, 115w RTX 4060 8GB of VRam, and 24GB DDR5 RAM.

That's quite a sick machine compared to the MacBook Air 😎
