The smoke column emitters are top notch! Great work!

Correction…that does exactly what I need it to do! Thanks!

I had seen that but didn’t think to try that out…I’m not sure if that’ll give me exactly what I’m after, but I’ll give it a shot.

I’ve had a similar problem, it’s not a problem with the footage. I sympathize with you, it’s really frustrating.

They’re both great tools, use which ever you’re most comfortable with.
I also run AE on my Vista PC with no problems, though I’d recommend waiting another 6-12 months or so till hardware manufacturers offer reliable Vista support…sometimes there are driver reliability trade offs with a PC’s cost and flexibility benefits.

Also, another thing to consider is your sound card. If you’re wanting to do real 5.1+ mixing, you’ll need something other than the typical sound card. Even the 5.1+ ones are really only two channel boards that fake 5.1+. As far as I know, and in my experience, you wont be able to get a real sense of your mix that way. I’ve ordered an Echo Gina 3G, which has 6 independent outputs that can be assigned different speakers in Premiere. Hopefully that’ll work.

I just did the same thing myself. I wouldn’t get hung up on only getting an Intel chip…I used a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ on a ABIT Kn8 Ultra mobo and it’s more processor than After Effects and Premiere Pro 2.0 will use combined for the most part. I would recommend getting as much ram as you can. My secondary internal drive is a RAID array, but it sounds like you’ll be handling most of your files externally. I really don’t have a video card either…just a cheap model that supports high rez…no problems scrubbing through video, only mild delay on complex frame renders in AE.
One thing I think a lot of people overlook is the power supply. I wouldn’t cut any corners there. If money is not an issue, get the most expensive power supply you can afford.
