Either you have a 1-frame range selected, or your computer is out of RAM
So be sure it's a normal sized comp (if not precomp it to a normal size comp)
Purge all cashes and go

You need to convert your footage to something with a non-temporal codec. You will have to do this outside of After Effects, then import the result.
The following is stolen from Dave...
Dave's Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- Native HDV, MPEG1, MPEG2, mp4, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
