  Cached Frames?

  Posted by Chip Hess on April 14, 2022 at 11:16 pm

  An error started showing up recently, when hitting either space bar or 0 for playback.
  Is this a settings issue, or bug?

  It means you hit preview and play before the machine had a chance to cache any frames. The green bar above the comp timeline indicates how much has cached. Just hit preview and wait for some frames to cache before trying to play them back. I accidentally do this all the time.

  Thanks!
  I did a search on the Adobe forum, and found this

  Preferences > Memory, and make sure “Reduce Cache size when system is low on memory” is NOT checked.
  I found this fixed it!
