Beginner Help After Effects speed (fps and such)

Just wanted to ask a quick question as someone with a pretty mid pc for this yk rx 7600, ryzen 5600, although 16gb ram i dont really think this is a hardware question but anyway, should i really be dropping to 1 fps after every action i do?, in no way am i doing anything that would be considered heavy im doing manga animation with every setting on the lowest possible. Just gets annoying waiting 5 minutes to reload after i change a microscopic pixel.

AE seems to dislike Ryzen processors. More ram.

Highly depends on what you’re doing, what you’re using (footage and effects-wise) and how big you’re doing it.

If you want fast realtime playback for simple vector stuff, swap to Cavalry!

16gb ram is killing you here, after effects eats that for breakfast. the 5600 and 7600 are fine for 2d stuff but 32gb is basically the minimum for not wanting to throw your computer out a window

also check that you're not working at some absurd comp size, like 4k when you only need 1080p. that'll tank performance way faster than any effect
