RAM preview “2 or more frames” question
Posted by Justin Hawley on May 16, 2005 at 5:52 pmHello!
I recently got After Effects 6.5 (after working on 5.0) and the RAM preview was working GREAT! Now, I get an error stating “RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback.”
Please advise,

May 16, 2005 at 5:56 pmI get that every now and then — not sure why, but quitting and relaunching AE fixes it.
Don’t forget to save incrementally. (file01.aep, file02.aep, etc.)

i also get the same error frequently..
no way to handle such error,,
i think adobe should provide some upgrade patch to fix this
as steve said.. quitting and relaunching AE fixes it…
unfortunately the only way right now………aroonz

May 16, 2005 at 6:14 pmThanks for the replies, guys. Are your motherboards and all hardware compatible? I know ours is not completely, and am just curious if that is or is not definitely the problem.
Thanks again!

May 16, 2005 at 8:50 pmI’ve had this happen on the PC, and I’m pretty sure it’s a memory leak also.
Try the “purge all” in the edit menu. That should clear out the cache without rebooting.Brett

May 16, 2005 at 9:16 pmThanks for so many wonderful posts! It seems to be working again, after rebooting it always works, only now it seems to be temporarily “fixed”. I’ll take all your thoughts into consideration. Thank you!
Justin.

Nope, the update won’t fix this, the problem is still there.
