My movies lagg when i have pre renderd. Please!

If one prerenders a movie, it should be in a lossless codec. One prerenders to save rendering time in AE. These files are very big, and a normal computer hard drive can't play them back smoothly.

You should know that prerendered movies will work fine for further work in AE, which looks at movies frame-by-frame, and is not intended to play back movies.

[ben g unguren] "If you want to watch your movies in real-time, you try rendering your movie to the H264 codec. This is easily done with your prerendered video if you have Adobe Media Encoder, or you can set up an Output Module in AE that will also render a nice, computer-playable-friendly version."

I always recommend the former (intermediate render), not the latter (direct render to H.264).

H.264 greatly benefits from multi-pass encoding, which cannot be done via the render queue.
