    Posted by Dean Burton-pye on January 18, 2012 at 3:30 pm

    Hi there after moving my computer to a different room it now take very long to start doing ram previews but once it starts it is okay. but this is very annoying as i need to get stuff done quickly.
    My PC Specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 3.2Ghz Black Edition
    Ram: 10GB DDR3
    Graphics Card: GTX 560 Ti
    Any suggestions on how to get it fast again?

    I have been reading some stuff online and the only things i have done is to troubleshoot my problem, i tried disabling openGL and still had the same problem and tried dedicating more ram to after effects and it had no change, i removed the dust from the case i made sure of it, I am very careful when working inside my case as it contains expensive components, I didn’t add any more stuff to the computer nor remove anything. May i add that the cpu using rises dramatically when starting to do a ram preview and the program stops responding for a while before doing anything, I really cant see what i have done to cause this, as it using to run smoothly as anything with no trouble at all.

    Perhaps it’s project related… did you continue an existing project to which you can compare that RAM previews were working fine before the move? If not, open an existing project to which you can compare.

    That seems like a weird little bug.
    What happens if you import the problematic project into a new one? Does the problem persist?
    Have you reported the bug to Adobe? They’d probably like to see it. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
