May 30, 2007 at 4:58 pmsorry for the brief answer, i was getting interupted (work… i tell ya). many people just disable opengl previews from the get go, because it can get kind of flakey in ae. also it really wasn’t much good until ae7 and even now it’s limited.
you can also switch the preview render technology with the little button that has the lightning bolt at the bottom of the preview window.

May 30, 2007 at 5:01 pmin response to your other question… no it won’t effect a thing, unless you happend to set your final render settings to specifically use opengl to render (it seems even adobe realized opengl was flakey when they implemented it, by default your final render settings use the statndard software render engine).
