Plugins
So I installed the ‘MisFire’ plugins because I want my footage to have a very grainy, 20’s-esque look to it. Problem is, every time I go to render, AE crashes. I already re-installed the plugins, and it’s doing the same thing. It barely makes it past the 5 second mark. And I’m only working with 56 seconds. Any ideas?

Check your RAM usage with Task Manager or Activity Monitor — see if you’re maxing it out. You might need more RAM, or purge with the secret prefs (hold down shift when accessing the prefs/general (don’t let go until the prefs show up), access “secret”, then try purging 5, 10, or 15 frames.
Try to render with the effect disabled to confirm that it’s the effect giving you problems.
If there’s still a problem, you might have to write the developer.
Anybody else?

What version of AE, and what kind of machine are you on?

I was getting the same behavior with a lot of my old Continuum Complete plug-ins. I haven’t upgraded to the latest version–and when I use them with AE7 it’s crash city.
My hunch is that they are using OpenGL in a manner that my Mac doesn’t support. Yet even if I switch renderers the problem persists.
I couldn’t justify $200-$300 to upgrade a set of plug-ins that I rarely use anymore.
Is the plug-in you are having probs with current in version?

AE 7.0 and I’m running on a macbook pro OSX 10.4.9

Yeah, the plugin is supposedly current. I’ve been talking with a friend of mine who has more experience and regularly uses AE, and he suggested the DigiEffects plugin too.

AE7 runs like crap on Intel based Macs. Read the sticky note at the top of the forum on Running AE7 on Intel Macs. CS3 works great on Intel Macs but your plugins need to be upgraded to UB versions to work in CS3. All of the standard plugins (including Keylight & the CC effects) are upgraded but most 3rd party plugs haven’t been released yet.
