After Effects wont play back more than a few seconds of my timeline. I have cleared all memory that I could possible clear from caches, RAM, Adobe folders etc. and still had no joy. Also followed help to changes options in preview window and nothing works. I have started brand new project with just 1 video and the same issue occurs. 

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thank you in advance

    I have the same problem except for me its every 1.5-2 seconds from where it starts then it'll just loop again. ive been able to play it with shift 0 but its annoying having to play it from the start every time, i have around 16 gigs of ram and ive had the same replaying problem with every project i have. (after effects 23)

    Hay muchos factores y detalles técnicos que ayudarían a saber si esos segundos están dentro del rango normal dependiendo de los detalles de tu proyecto. Podrías adjuntar todos los detalles posibles para analizar mejor tu caso y poder intentar ayudarte.

    Sounds perfectly normal for a RAM preview on a system with limited RAM. Yyou may want to read the online help:

    Otherwise you have to be much more specific and provide actual system info, preview settings, info about the contents of the project and so on.
