Can't preview animation

[Cartoons12]

I can't play the animation properly. Sometime it show part of the animation sometime nothing at all. I've tried both the Production release v0.9.6.1 and Development release v1.0.0-rc.2. It showed the same behaviour. How can i fix this?

Update: i tested using enve and it works fine on my computer

I could also render and use the sofware completely fine

Ok, so i found the exact issue i faced on an enve issue: MaurycyLiebner#274
When i check my RAM, it was running at more than 90%. I improve it by: using less browser, turn off audio enhance, turn off app that takes up RAM, ect. And it kinda worked. And also lower the preview resolution

You could also disable "cached preview" by unchecking it on the "View" menu. It will preview frames just by "moving" the time bar to the next frame, next one, etc. Playback wont be on realtime but it's pretty handy.

Thanks, i don't know how but that's worked really well.

Friction uses RAM for preview and rendering, so it will eat up all your RAM depending on resolution/length of your animation/video. On some platforms you might end up with a crash (out-of-memory). 32GB is usually the sweet spot.

We should probably check for available RAM during playback/rendering.

Disk cache is on the roadmap, but it's not high priority at the moment.
