So simple. Worked for me. Even before I applied the update.

Thanks!

I’m experiencing the same issue. Unfortunately, I am working from an ACER laptop, with only one processor so I cannot multi-process. However, it is rather strange because I am only using Quicktime files .MOV and .AVI which never seemed to be an issue before.

I’m just stumped.

none of the above worked for me (yes, even restarting)

then I tried something and it strangely worked.
in the preview panel, near the frame rate and skip options, there is resolution. I changed it from auto to full

it worked

Alright, you ready for this! This has been the fix for After Effects running out of ram while rendering the final project out and now that I ran into this 2 or more frames error I double check the settings and sure enough it was off. For some reason Adobe thought it would be funny to make a very pertinent setting hidden, so do the following and it should clear things up.

Edit – Preferences

Before clicking on an option hold the SHIFT key, while holding the SHIFT key click on any option, ie General. You must keep holding the SHIFT key till the menu opens.

At the bottom you will find the SECRET settings.

Check – Disable Layer Cache, and I put 15 in for Purge Every _ Frame

This has helped a massive amount of people I know and saved many projects from being late.

Hope it works for you.

For me the solution was quite simple:
Play the composition normally for a few seconds or frames (hit the normal play button or the space bar), stop the video and then hit RAM preview. It worked for me.

Cheers.

I had the same problem. for me a the denoiser effect was causing it. I would suggest trying to isolate the footage that might be causing it (audio, video or still) then examine the footage or effects applied to it.
