Question

After Effects error: Cached Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback

Hi,

I'm working on a large project and AE won't play any portion of the animation.

I've been on this project for nearly two weeks and AE has preformed good -- until today March 16, 2019.

The error in the title block is the error I get when I try to play back something?

Might anyone know the reason?

    I'm glad you had fixed this. I had this error for another reason that had nothing to do with memory. On one of my pre-comps, I had accidentally slid the Time Ruler to one frame. The problem went away when I expanded it out again.

    Hi,

    I cleared After Effects preferences and caches -- and it seems to have improved.

    It would be great to have further insight on the impact of comp settings and preview settings.

    I've attached current settings of both.

    ...thank you for taking the time to respond

    Start by flushing your caches. The rest we can't know. You have not provided any actual info about your project like what files it uses, what comp settings, what preview settings and so on.
