  • After Effects needs 2 or more frames to playback

    During RAM preview, I get the following error:

    After Effects needs 2 or more frames to playback

    I’ve had a gander on Cow and found some threads, but nothing that solves my issue. This is with CS6.

    Any ideas?

    Tried emptying the disk cache (max disk cache 149GB) and cleaning the cache, but none has any affect.

    Have you updated the CS6 version? The latest version has an adjustment for this bug.

    Is multiprocessing enabled?

    Also check that the RAM preview is not set to “From current time”.

    If the CTI is at the last frame and you hit Num 0, AE gives this error.

    Hi,

    Thanks. Now updating. Hopefully will fix.

    Do you know if Ray Tracing now supports: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB graphics?

    I live in hope. Didn’t see it included on the update list.

    Ray tracing acceleration is only on NVIDIA at this time. Consider that the GPU acceleration for the ray-tracer is built on NVIDIA’s own OptiX library when setting your expectations for AMD/ATI support.

    I still have the problem. I unchecked from current time. and I believe I enabled multiprocessing. I unchecked enable disk cache.

    I went to the apple store and they told me I have enough RAM.
    What to do?
