That's due to caching. Just play from the beginning and it SHOULD continue to render out. If that doesn't work, try to disabling caching in the Preview menu.

Hi Jaiden’s2489601331i6,
Thanks for writing in.
Preview in After Effects is dependent on the available RAM. Could you share your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS)?
Please try clearing the media cache. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-clean-delete-or-trash-media-cach...
Let us know if it helps.
Thanks,
Nishu

How do i get to my system specifications?

Just uncheck "cache before playback" or "if caching, play cached frames"
You can find your system specs by Clicking Apple menu  > About This M

It is unchecked and it still is doing the same thing.

Have you tried playing it from the beginning? You can disable all disk cache in preferences (Edit > Preferences > Media & Disk Cache) And please provide your system specs.

I tried both and the same results, i did update it 2 days ago so that might have something to do with it.

If it started after you updated, then yeah that might be an issue. Try reverting to 22.4.

Is there no other way, because when i had 22.4 i kept getting after effects alerts every start-up to update it?

You can do it just for test purposes.. so you can find out if it's just the new update. You might just want to use 22.4 until the next update, which probably won't be that long.

When i did it i couldn't even open after effects because i got a alert.

So you installed 22.4 but it didn't work? Is that what you're trying to say? You still haven't given us your PC specs...
I'd recommend trying theses:
Try the following:
- Purge disk cache (You've done)
- Reset preferences (You've done)
- Play around with GPU acceleration
- Allocate more memory (You've done)
- Remove third-party plugins one at a time and see if they are causing issues
If none of these work, you should probably take this up with Adobe customer support, since they can get a better understanding by screen sharing, etc.

Where is the GPU acceleration?

Project Settings (File > Project Settings) is where GPU acceleration is located.
I found another forum thread from a while ago, maybe it will help you. https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/ae-will-only-playback-a-few-seconds/td-p/87...

Yeah none of these work, so will i just have to wait until the new update comes out?

You can try resetting the preferences of the 22.5 version. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...

Try lowering the Comp Resolution, allowing After Effects to cache more frames into RAM.
Try using control + shift + 0 instead of Spacebar for Previews, allowing After Effects to skip frames during the Preview (assuming the default Preview options have not been changed).
