Video Lags After I Render It

When ever I open up the video that I finished rendering, it is choppy and stutters every 2 seconds. I can't figure why. I just bought After Effects today and I have no idea how it works.

    ‌The default rendering is lossless which was never designed for playback. After Effects is a tremendously complex application with nearly endless possibilities and you can't just jump in and start using it without spending a little a little time learning the basics.

    The third section is on rendering and it's just the start.
