Option “Freeze Layer Contents” does not appear!
Hi folks. I’m having trouble in the After Effects CS. When I click on the “Fast Previews” button below the comp window, the option “FREEZE LAYER CONTENTS” does not appear. Can anybody help me on that? Thanks!

Do you mean After Effects CS3? The Freeze Layer Contents command has been removed from After Effects CS3. Here’s a description of what this command did in After Effects 7:
“When OpenGL is enabled, layers that consist of moving images require significantly more memory on your OpenGL card to preview than do still-image layers. Freeze Layer Contents speeds playback by showing only the first frame encountered in each layer.”
It turned out that very few people were using this command, and it wasn’t helping much with performance. Most folks would just turn OpenGL off for previews instead of using this halfway feature.
