    Hi Creative Cow users.
    I would like some help to fix this issue because it really annoys me when i have to wait
    everytime i preview something in the timeline.
    I have also experienced a flickering dialog box when previewing.

    I followed the instructions on adobe: https://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/cpsid_82252.html#main_Common_solutions

    But nothing seemed to work.
    I have a good computer with 6 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
    And i am running Windows 7 64-bit.

    Note:
    I am working with large file sizes up to 15 GB uncompressed AVI.
    The hole project is about a total of 50 GB.

    Example of the issue:
    Let me give you an example of when the problem appears.

    For example i have a comp size on 400 frames that i want to preview.
    When i hit the shortcut ‘0’ on my Keypad it starts rendering fast and there is no problems at all.
    But when i almost reach these 400 frames After Effects CS5 starts to freeze and sometimes it
    also do a flickering dance.

    Would be nice is someone knew how to fix this Because right now i can’t really use After Effects CS5.

    * If you also know how to get the full exploitation of the 8 GB RAM and 6 cores let me know.

    Thank you
