LAYER COLOURS IN AE7
IN ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF AE, WHEN YOU TRIM A LAYER THE COLOUR BETWEEN THE TRIMED BIT AND THE UNTRIMED BIT IS REARLY CLEARLY DEFINED IE. THE UNTRIMED BIT OF THE LAYER IS PINK FOR EXAMPLE AND THE TRIMED BIT IS ALLMOSED WHITE. NOW IN AE7 THE COLOUR DIFERENCE BETWEEN THE UNTRIMED AND TRIMED BIT OF THE LAYER IS HARDLY NOTISABLE, BY COMPARISON.
DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO REMEDY THIS OR DOES ANY ONE KNOW IF ADOBE IS GOING TO CHANGE THIS IN CS3 AS IT IS REARLY FRUSTRATING AND IS PUTTING ME OFF UPGRADING

STAY OFF THE CAPS MAN!
There is no easy way to change the color schemes for layers, but it might improve in the next version :-). You’ll be able to download a beta version from the Adobe site soon, so you can evaluate whether the new version works for you.

DON’T SHOUT!
If you’re rendering with CapsLock on, just minimize AE then switch off CapsLock.Regarding the labels, mess with the User Interface colors in the Prefs dialog, maybe checking “affects label colors” until you get something you like. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to see what CS3 offers.

AE 7.0.1 was supposed to improve the contrast. Have… ahem… HAVE YOU DOWNLOADED THAT UPDATE FROM THE ADOBE WEBSITE YET?!?!?!!!!!

In “User Interface Colors” pref select “Use Gradients” and drop the interface brightness down a couple notches. It makes a noticable difference between trimmed and untrimmed portions of a layer.

grads on helps… but i find it distracting.
the 7.0.1 helps just a touch, but its aint great.
you just have to live with one or the other

Or put your Render Queue window in the same workspace area as your Composition preview… This way when you go to your Render Queue to render, your preview area isn’t visible and will not be rendered as you… erm… render =)
