I have a great little workaround for getting all this to work quickly in AE. Open an older project that has your previous render settings in it. Pre-snow leopard. And then save the output modules as pre-sets. You can then render happily to Sorenson 3. I am always having trouble getting H.264 to render out of AE. It looks great when you use QT pro.. but AE chokes on it and I dont have the freedom to make smaller movies to upload for previewing the way I can with sorenson. Anyway.. just my gripes with apple limiting people.

The Time Track seemingly has no relationship to the speed of motion for either the camera or objects. Is there some kind of additional linking required to get objects to respond to the time track?

I deliver using either Black Magic or the Animation Codec

Got it! FINALY! So if you have the same problem I was having, (getting the particles to die over time) here is how its done..
Use the persistant property manager, make a new solid black solid. Use that sold as the layer map and use the Age feather and Older/younger than settings in the ppm to adjust the values of the particles over their life time. Make sure that the black layer is the entire duration of your comp. Also, this doesnt work unless you use a layermap for a particle. It will not effect standard particles.
I hope this saves someone the ammount of time it took me to figure this thing out!!!
