OpenGL was disabled (it was one of my first troubleshooting steps) and I do not have an external monitoring set up. I had not, however, downloaded any patches for AE or keylight. I just downloaded both updates. I am still unable to get any of my fraps footage to work in AE or APP on my Mac, but I have not yet tried AE on my PC to see if the changes helped. I’ll find out here in a little bit when I import this project I have been working on.

Yes, but I haven’t found another codec in Virtual Dub that keeps my aspect ratio or file quality.
And wouldn’t rendering it as bmp or jpeg give me thousands of image files?

Ok I did a search of the forum for fraps and it seems that I am not the only one with the fraps to mac problem. But I haven’t found anyone with my PC AE fraps problem. The way AE acts on my PC just shouldn’t be. The video quality is just fine, when the program doesn’t crash.
I suppose I could use AE on my PC to re-encode and save as lossless in QT all the individual files I use for my movies (which are hundreds, so this would be a pain) but I don’t know if there is a batch way to just import twenty clips, plop them in the timeline and export each one individually. To do so manually would just not be worth it.
As for just trying to work with AE on my PC, I key out great portions of my clips. Would AE run better if I placed a mask around a character who is shot against a blue screen so that I am leaving much less blue screen for the program to key out? Would that make a difference?
Thanks a bunch for the help all.

Alas no, I can actually get the footage from my HDV camera (.mts files) onto my Mac just fine, using iMovie. The majority of footage I use is captured on my computer using a program called Fraps, which captures very high quality, but encapsulates each .avi in its own Fraps codec, and there is no Mac compatible version of the codec.
I’ve even tried taking the Fraps .avis, using Virtual Dub to render them as uncompressed files, and yet they still do not work.

Yeah ffmpegx won’t download for me 🙁

I’ll try ffmpegx, but last time I tried to download it from the site, the download errored out twice 😛 Hopefully the download works tomorrow when I try again.
And alas, I do not have the capability to copy footage to a DV camera.

Sweet, I’ll have to get it then.
But is there a way for me to make it so I don’t have to convert the files for them to be read in AE?

What else would QuickTime Pro be good for though? I’d like to justify buying it for my boss before I ask him to pay for it. Is it just good for video conversions?

No, I thought about it but I was told that it messes up with things like DiVX. I have all the codecs from this package, and I believe the Perian codec is one of them:
