Adobe After Effects - Preview is not real time

@scottalanmiller the vendor did recommend Mac in the early days, that's why people got it twisted.

Did they? I think they just supported it, not recommended it.

But it still only would make sense to cause this spike to "Not realtime" during preview if it was during the rendering operation to get the preview.
Not once it has rendered out.
(also I didn't build/buy/recommend any of the hardware)
It HAS to render the preview at some point. Just doesn't tell you that, and the preview is supposed to be small enough that the render can happen in real time. Doesn't always work out that way, obviously.
If this is running on a MAC, I guarantee the video card is not adequate for running AE. The only thing Apple sells that has enough GPU for AE is the MacPro with FirePro graphics, and those cards are old at this point, in addition to being even more overpriced than other Apple things.

@scottalanmiller mid to late 90s. absolutely. I graduated with my audio degree end of '96, literally EVERY VENDOR had Apple's ball juice conspicuously on their chin. According to "the industry" at that time, nobody could record multitrack audio, use photoshop/after effects / premiere etc, or do any kind of multimedia production without a Mac. My personal mission since then has been to shit all over that mindset.

In fact, the new album my band is about to release was recorded entirely on an OLD windows 7 system... SSD main drive, but it has a SATA2 connection, 8GB RAM. No issues recording 10 tracks of 24/96 audio simultaneously in Reaper. Eat a dick Apple/Digidesign/Avid/ProTools/Adobe/all those other alleged "industry standard tools". Don't believe the hype.

I know what you're talking about. At the end of the nineties I worked with a company that was running Protools on Windows NT and not Mac. It was rather unusual. System could do 64 tracks of 24 bit @ 48kHz on a Pentium II full of effects, but that was in large part because audio processing was offloaded to DSP cards. That's Digital Signal Processors for those who don't know. Audio tracks where recorded to SCSI disks. I remember it was a very stable and good system but it was extremely picky on hardware.
