  Jerky preview

  Posted by Bruce Gaber on January 15, 2016 at 9:20 pm

  I am working with a set of still images in a comp for which I’ve set the frame rate at 29.97. While I can scrub the comp fine, the preview playback is jerky and shows a realtime playback rate of 4.167 fps. Weird. Any suggestions?

  iMac3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
  24 Gb Ram (18 Gb allocated to AE)
  External SSD cache 185 Gb

  As always, Many thanks

  Thanks Dave

  I took your cue about the IT person. I covered myself in my security blanket so nobody could see me and did the unthinkable—I read the AE Help section on “Preview”. Seems that I had skip set to 5 along with some not very close to 29.97 frame rate set. Changing these setting to 0 and “auto” did the trick. Just don’t tell anyone I had to read the instructions or my cachet as the house AE jock is blown.

  Best
