Current time indicator stop moving

Hi Ehab Mouris,

Sorry to hear that you're running into this issue. We need more details to help you.

• Can you confirm the exact version of After Effects? FAQ: How to find the exact version of After Effect... - Adobe Support Community
• GeForce RTX is the series — what's the model of the GPU?  
• Is Drive "D" a fast drive such as an SSD, NVMe, or is it an HDD?

The next time you launch After Effects, go to Help > Enable Logging before you start working on the project. We can then inspect the log files to see if that leads us to the source of the problem.

Thanks,

Rameez

Does this happen with all compositions or is it one in particular?  If it's one, what effects are you using, could it be something that's taxing and doesn't use AE's cache in the usual way?

Overriding app-controlled settings is generally not advisable. Enforcing the antialiasing alone could consume a ton of resources and freeze the redraw. Other than that you may want to lower the disk cache size significantly. It'S quite possible AE is simply caching way too much and then not refreshing. Other than that I can't see much, but of course keep experimenting with settings. I know it's frustrating, but there's really no "push this button" solution. On that note you may want to try GPU-Z or the NVidia debug tools. Perhaps they can at least provide some clues about what may be the issue.

The answer is pretty much the same boring obvious thing: Something is wrong with your hardware acceleration in that the graphics buffers fill up and don't refresh after a while. You may need to spend some time figuring out your graphics driver configuration. Realyl not much more than that to say and no easy answers. However, if it doesn't cause crashes or otherwise negatively affects your AE work, I wouldn't worry too much. Perhaps it even works when you regularly flush the RAM preview and other caches from the edit menu or occasionally build a RAM preview instead of just always using a realtime preview.
