I have been running into this error off and on for quite some time, most recently this morning. Since I had just created the project and was working with all image sequences I knew it couldn’t be a corrupt file or a codec issue. So I went about turning layers on and off trying to figure out what was causing the error.
For me the issue turned out to be time remapping. Frequently if I need to do a “hold frame” at the beginning of a clip, I will move the clip 10 or 20 frames ahead in the time line, enable on time remapping, and then drag the inpoint of the clip back to my desired start time. I had such a layer in this comp, and I found that when I disabled time remapping on the clip, my comp miraculously previewed again. As an aside, whenever I did this in the past, I never added another keyframe for “frame 1” at the new in point of my time remapped clip. From now on I will do so, and see if the problem comes up again. But given the nature of the error, “AE needs 2 or more frames to preview,” I wonder if the extended single frame in my timeline is what what screwing everything up.
I don’t know if my solution applies to everyone else who has encountered this error, but I figured I would post my “workaround” in case it helps anyone else.
best,
Adrian

Yes, but I need to be able to do that for the entire length of the comp. 30 plus frames. In the future I’d rather not have to go frame by frame saving each one out as a photoshop frame manually. Just wondering if there was an easier way than that.

Wow that’s fairly impressive. I’ll have to go and check out that book. Thanks again.

Don’t know Cinema 4D at all, but there are a few guys in the office who may be able to help me out.
I’ll look into is if my particle playground exploits don’t work out. Thanks!

I checked out the book on amazon. Looks interesting, but if you can post a finished movie so I can see if is what I need that’d be great. I’d like to besure it is what i need before I run out and buy the book.
Thanks for the speedy reply!
