AE2017 Preview only plays 1s frame over and over again

[taylorm89847972]

     I'm trying to preview my video in after effects and I have tried numerous methods and can't seem to figure this out. All it ever does when i press space bar or the play button is play 1sec loop and the green loading bar doesn't load much. Everything worked fine until I tried to preview. I also went into edit and then preference and memory and made it so that after effects uses 7.9gb of my 8GB RAM.

My PC has:

8gb of RAM (questioning this)

windows 10

asus motherboard crosshair v formula

Radeon hd 6770 vapor-x

64 bit

AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor, 3311 Mhz, 3cores, 6 logical processors

1TB

not sure if anything else is needed.

Thanks,

Taylor

Hi Taylorm,

It might be an issue with memory or Disk Cache

1. Reduce the allocation of memory to 6GB.

2. In Menu bar Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache > Click OK

3. In Preview panel > enable "Cache Before Playback" option & try Preview again.

Thanks,

Vidya

and GET MORE MEMORY.  8 gigs is pretty darned weak for AE.  Think 16 gigs.

Experiencing the AE2017 Preview playing only a 1-second frame repeatedly could be attributed to various factors such as playback settings, RAM allocation, or possibly an issue with the specific project or video composition. Similarly, in addressing visual imperfections within images, applications like Remi Mod utilize advanced algorithms, but occasional limitations might occur based on factors like image quality or device compatibility. To troubleshoot the AE2017 Preview playback issue, consider adjusting the preview settings within Adobe After Effects, ensuring sufficient RAM allocation for previewing, or examining the composition settings to identify any specific settings causing the looped playback.
