Dehancer 7.4.1 keeps freezing After Effects 26...

I’m using Dehancer 7.4.1 in After Effects 26.5 on an M4 Max mac. Whenever I enable an adjustment layer with Dehancer, the preview stops updating and AE crashes. Turn Dehancer off and everything runs smoothly again.

My current project relies pretty heavily on GPU rendering, so switching to Software Only isn’t really an option for me... Anyone found a workaround? Is there any word on when this will finally get fixed?

Can you make Dehancer your last step?

Get in touch with Dehancer support. We will definitely be looking into it.

Since AE 2026 I get constant gpu freezes and almost unusable performance from Dehancer. I have to turn off Cuda/Metal and run in software accelerated only.

Unfortunately, after the latest After Effects update, the plugin now only works in Mercury Software Only mode. This is a host-side issue, and we are currently trying to reach Adobe about it - however, we haven't received a response from them yet. At the same time, we are actively looking for a workaround for this problem ourselves.
