Null objects are used for parenting and expressions. Extremely useful.
There are dozens of tutorials on the Cow that use them. See Rick Gerard’s Camera tutorials.

you can copy a path from Illustrator and paste it as a mask on a layer in the After Effects timeline. Typically a solid layer is used if you only want the path.
Once the path is pasted in 3D Stroke will see it.

If the files were inititally created in Illustrator why not import them into After Effects as a sequence?
Place all sequentially numbered ai files in a folder and import as a sequence, After Effects will figure it out. Then you can place this in the timeline as a single file. If the frame rate needs adjustment you can either use interpret footage (from the file menu) or time remap.

I have a similar setup but AE 7 is fine and faster than AE 6.5.
I can only suggest it may have something to do with OpenGL or your video drivers.

The older DVD format was fine, the HD movies only play on a computer now and appear to be hosted in a Director file.
Director is notorious for not playing well with large format Quicktime files, which these HD movies actually are as H264 Quicktimes.
I’ve been buying TT products since they were on VHS but this new series seriously sucks. I won’t be buying any more training in this format.
The resolution increase to HD is not worth the performance hit, I have a G5 Quad with 4 GB of RAM and an Athlon 64 X2, both run these disks poorly when anything else is running.

In the interpret footage dialog how is this footage beeing seen?

I’ve running a Quad G5 with 4GB of RAM and no issues at all. Which is more than I can say for my Athlon X2 PC. I have nothing but issues there.
The G5’s are very finicky about RAM, matched pairs in spec. I’ve only used Premium RAM in any machine since RAM issues can be so flakey to troublshoot.
I’ve got RAMJET certified RAM in the G5 and have had no problems with any renders in AFX 7.
Have you tried increasing the disk cache?
-
You could import all your projects into one aep file and set up the renders from there. When you import an aep in to a new project all assets come with it.

thanks for your comments. I’ve had the RAM tested using MEM test, the test ran for 6 days and did not show an errror. All other components check out fine.
