whenever i use magic bullet looks for a project now it says '2 or more frames needed to playback' It just recently started to say this and i've tried everything before even coming to ask for help. yes, i even factory reset my laptop. 

 

i have a macbook pro, MacOS sierra 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 

Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

i cannot upgrade my laptop because it won't let me either. 

It's extremely frustrating and makes me wanna quit editing all together. i'm really at a loss because this didn't happen before and now it's been 3 days of it happening.

You must check if your work area in the timeline is in a 2 frame range (check attached image). If so double-click will reset to the complete time span on your timeline.

actually, your PC specs are too low, and may your project includes too many layers, so try to purge your memory and clean the disk cache, reduce the preview quality to quarter, also check if you have this issue on s specific project or overall on all project.

also, try to downgrade your AE to a previous version maybe it's an issue in the latest AE release.
