Hello,

I have tried everything to get rid of the Error code: cached preview needs 2 or more frames to play back and nothing works. I have cleared out all of the cache on my mac, uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects and the Creative Cloud twice, and watched every youtube video on it. Holding down Command+Option+Shift while its starting up doesn't show me anything about it reseting my preferences. I have the 2020 version of After Effects and am working on macOS 10.15.7 with 8GB and plenty of storage. Does anyone have any ideas of how to help me?

Thanks

I came on here to ask for help for the same problem, but it was just this little thing lol. Some blue thing had to move it along to create more frames.

I'm probably wayyyyyy too late, but this solved my issue (don't know how it happened in the first place). Just move the little thing blue thing over to include more time above your keyframes. It took me a minute to figure this out. Hope it helps someone.
