You don’t mention which version of After Effects you are running, nor whether you have a multicore processor.
After Effects 7 only sees 2 GB of RAM. CS3 sees 3 GB but if you enable multiprocesssing it can use all available memory, you need at least 1 GB per core.
If you have a multicore machine try Nucleo Pro to speed renders. You can download a trial version from their site to see whether it helps.

Nucleo will benefit from more RAM as well.

Yes it works.
The Adobe user forum is bloated with similar complaints.
It must be a new “feature” introduced with CS3.

There are many methods that can work. Duplicate the layer. Mask your subject out on the top layer. Remove the color on the bottom layer by one of several methods. EG use Hue Saturation on the layer and remove the color. Use Channel Mixer to remove color etc

How are you manipulating the camera?
Are you dragging one of the axes?
Are you scrubbing layer values?
Are you moving the camera body?
Which Axis mode are you in Local, World or View?

I have 2 20″ and agree with Steve.
You’ll have more desk space with a 30″, I wish I had taken that route.
Get the 30″

There may be a faster way but here’s one that works.
1) Select all the layers that you don’t want to accept lights.
2) Type AA (the a key twice) to reveal the lighting options.
3) Set any of the selected layers to not accept lights. This affects all selected layers.

To clarify I bought a FW800 to 4 pin cable rather than the FW 400 4 pin to 6 pin variety.
The drives are raided SATA 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptors.

Thanks TY.
I have a Mackie 1202 VLZ and mixture of lectrosonic and sennheiser lavs.
I’ve just learned there will be audience Q&A as well… so now I have 7 audio sources. I plan to put a mic on a stand for the audience (come to the mic to ask a question) and have a wireless shotgun on a boom with for those that won’t come to the mic.
I’ve added another camera just for audio, that gives me 6 audio inputs.. something will have to go through a mixer.

Thanks for the advice.
I’ll take your suggestion and mic every panelist and mix it live.
I don’t want second rate audio.

Aharon of course is correct. I should have made this clear in my previous post.
In my case I’m working full screen 16×9 SD to be displayed on an HDTV.
My clients are using an SD DVD Player so there is no point is working in HD resolution.
