“locking existing frames” when RAM previewing in AE8
anyone else getting stuck when RAM previewing? I’m working in a really large project (but this never happened with the same project in AE7) and when I RAM preview the info box sits at “locking existing frames” for a long time (like about 10 minutes) .. then I’ll click in and out of AE a few time and it will start to RAM preview …… I’m only trying to preview about 2 seconds.
on a Dual G5 and NOT using multi-frame rendering

From Adobe Forums:
“Yeah, these issues have been known to happen. CS3 will play sound differently from AE7 and sometimes it frowns if it finds different settings stored in the project files. If the settings aren’t already correct, you might be able to prevent the issues by setting your audio sample rates, number of channels and output mapping to the exact same settings as they were on your old system. Also turn off any of those rubbish perceptual audio “enhancement” functions. If that doesn’t bring any improvement, then as they say in software developer circles: removing the audio, re-importing it and placing it on the timeline is an acceptable workaround.”

this really sucks
firstly my preview area is only 5 secs, secondly my project is such a zoo (I’m blaming the editor…) that I have no control over what audio formats I’ve got dropped on my timeline, I just need the dang audio to preview in a timely manner without locking the existing frames forever.
when it it finally runs the preview it renders like lightning after thinking about it for forever. it’s almost as frustrating as the ‘initialising background processes’ for multiprocessing that’s just made me turn MP off on my Quad core…
Can somebody at Adobe please just make the simple things work? I’ll take that over any new features they’re dreaming up.
Let’s be clear, faster previews please, make the audio work please, and more stability thanks.

My solution is to create a proxy immediately (if HD) BUT before I render it out I also add the audio the render que as a wav file. Now you only have to wait for the audio to conform. Short comps will cruise.
