How do I play back after effects video full speed?

I am new to after effects (only worked on one project previously) and am struggling to time the sequencing of a video design because I cannot play back at full speed (major lagging). How can I see the video at full speed without rendering out the whole video?

 

Thanks!

Without any info about your system, your hardware acceleration settings, preview settings, type of footage used and so on we can't tell you much. As Ali already pointed out, there are severe limitations to realtime playback in AE and from incompatible GPUs preventing hardware acceleration from working correctly to slow drives making caching and loading slow to a million other things there could be any number of reasons why you may not be able to play in realtime.

After effects in NOT a video editing software, Premiere Pro is the right software to do such tasks (Ae supports copy-paste with Premiere Pro, so you can edit there and bring your clips back into Ae via copy-paste)
