Alright so heres my issue.

Whenever I will playback a composition in after effects, it will skip/lag frames. This even happens at third and quarter and half quality. Im not sure what the issue is and im sure it just a simple setting. I have like 18 gbs ram and a 1.5 gb graphics card.

Thanks on advance!

      Make sure your settings in the Preview panel are set correctly for the hotkey you're using to trigger your preview. You can create different settings (including skipping frames) for the various hotkeys.

      If that's not the issue - are you seeing this with everything, or only certain file types? Working off an external drive?

        Yep that was it. It was set to 5 frames.

        Thanks you.
