Over the past few days, After Effects has been giving me the most frustrating error. Almost every sigle time i try to RAM preview, it says "After Effects Needs Two or more Frames to Playback" and will not ram preview.
I am running Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.3, have 8 GB of RAM, 2.2 GHZ i7. This problem seams to persist despite how much RAM I allocate for After Effects (currently AE has 7GB, while leaving 1GB for other apps) It also happens with multithreading turned on and off.
Also, not sure if this is related, but whenever I open AE, it is extremely fast and responsive allowing me to drag layers around the comp in full resolution with no lag. After being open for half an hour or so, there is a solid 2 second lag behind every action, and any time I touch any layer in the comp, adaptive resolution brings my display down to 1/8th quality. Is this to be expected on a computer with my specs?
Thanks,
