Thank you for this information. I still get confused by the myriad processing/preview options in AE CC. I don’t see any mention of “Live Update” when I click the “Fast Previews” button below the comp window. I do see that “Live Update” is checked in the drop-down menu at the top-right of my timeline window.
Please don’t feel obliged to clarify any of this, though. You’ve already been very helpful. I’m a grown-up, and should probably take some responsibility for doing my own reading. But damn, I read the guides, and I’m still confused. Then again, I’m very old…
Thanks again for your responses. I appreciate your time.
