Hey Guys!

Everytime i import a clip into my Composition after effects creats weird little frezzes/stutter on some clips.

and if i play this part again the little lag is saved at this position. its hard to explain. even after export the composition as a avi the lag is still there.

I dont mean the lag/stutter for the Ram Preview, the Lags are on the Videoclip.

Here is a Wedding film i made, look at 1:51, the scene on the stairs. there is a little stutter and i dont know how it comes.

Stutter/Lags After Effects Problem - YouTube

Please help i dont know how to fix this

even if i delete the scene and add the exact same scene as a new one after effects creats a lag/stutter on a other position of the composition..

the clips itself are all smooth, its something in after effects.

Edit: When I looked at the video originally I did not realize that I was having a problem with my connection. The video just looked like a series of stills.

If you have purged everything and still have the problem when rendering a frame-based digital intermediate using the Render Cue, then there is something else going on. If the original footage was shot with a consumer camera, a mobile device or something like an OSMO, the MPEG compression of the original footage could be causing some decoding problems when you use the Adobe Media Encoder for rendering. Unless I completely misread how you produced the video the whole thing looks like it could have been done in Premiere Pro. I never cut sequences like that in AE because you are just asking for production and rendering problems. I don't see where you used motion tile. The only possible obvious effects are slow motion and color grading.

Are you doing any keyframing on that layers position? Do you use any stabilization (warp stabilizer) effect?

Ok so if you get that lag on rendered file and in ram preview maby there is something wrong with your input file.
Is that happening on any video file that you import to AE?
What format and codec are those input files?
Could you try to rerender/convert  any of clips that give you that lag in AE to some other format/codec with AME or any other file converter. And after that try to put it into AE and check if you will get those lags.
