After Effects Preview
Hi,
This has probaly been answered many times but,
I can not get my ram previews to play in real time no matter what I am doing. Even something as simple as maving a image across the screen will only deliver 5-6fps with a ram preview. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this. I am working on a Boxx 7400 with 4GB of ram.
Thanks,
Tom -

Have you got all your prefs set up ok, 25fps (or whatever you’re working at) set on you time controls and plenty of RAM allocated? Though you should be able to get realtime on a simple comp on even the slowest of PCs!…Let alone a juicy Boxx!
Tell me, how do the boxx machines weigh up pound for pound against a top end HP machine? I’m trying to work out what to ask for when we upgrade and the boxx’s look nice, but are quite a bit more expensive for similar specs than a standard HP system. Is there extra horsepower/reliability/throughput on the boxx systems? Thanks.

like jimmybee said, if your time controls (panel) frame rate is set to the correct frame rate and skip is set to 1, you should see you ram preview play back in realtime (after it renders the preview, of course) even on the lowliest pc.
you are hitting zero on the numeric keypad to start the ram preview render, correct? if you are hitting the space bar the movie is being rendered to disk and playing from there, so that could cause a slow down if you’re working at a high respolution or high frame rate.
