That’s interesting. I use a mixture of MXF files from an older Canon camera at times and wonder if this is related somehow.
I’ve noticed the “Proheadless” process tends to hang sometimes when this problem appears.

” I reinstalled the latest (clean) and still no change.”
From OP

I’ve turned off Disk cache and MP entirely and it had no affect on the project. For new projects, it performs instantly. I believe this project might be a problem because mid way through I realized it was just going to be too large for AE on it’s own (10 min project using 2 hours of footage) and starting use Premiere which of course was much easier. Seems I’ll just have to remember to not drop large files into AE. Thanks for help.

I did almost the same thing. Built a 3770k with 32GB Ram, SSD which flys overall but with CS6 I notice that when working with large projects whenever I press RAM preview – it takes 20-30 seconds to just start rendering the content, when it does it goes quickly but it’s very frustrating when making lost of little changes. I ended up killing the disk cache because it was even slower (had it on a 7200 drive).
I can tell you that the I also had an ATI video card in my old rig, which doesn’t use the GPU for acceleration…nVidia “Cuda cores” make a difference. I went with a $200 GTX 660 with a good number of cuda cores and enabled the hack for GPU acceleration and it was a world of difference.
I don’t expect to get my problem solved as almost every issue I’ve ever had with AE over the years usually ends up with a non-answer or blaming my system in some way that later proves incorrect.
I agree that RAM is crucial, all 32GB gets sucked up for even the smallest HD projects, might look at getting another SSD for the disk cache as it seems like a good investment for the bigger stuff.

Thanks! It looks much better.
I’ll research Layer mapping tonight, I quickly used one of my test images for the screen and one of them seemed to work (showed about 1/2 the image), so I know it’s doable now.
Again, thank you for the help and your model collection is a great deal also.

It was a free model from Turbosquid (I think, can’t seem to find it again). I did notice it’s got problems but my limited 3D chops kept getting in the way.
Thanks for the info, I had a feeling it might be the model, if you could “fix” it for me I would be very grateful, either way thanks and I’ll check out your product.
