I have no idea what you think you’re seeing.
Accessible from the OPTIONS window, the various floor controls are not keyframable. If you want different settings for each blasxt, you will need to use multiple copies of CCPW but you can only have one active at a time; if you stacke them, they become opaque.

OpenGL sort of works, it is no longer a sick and cruel joke. I get significant OpenGL preview improvements in DV rez, almost real time for the limited OpenGL-assisted details, lighting, and shadows. I have not had a chance to explore HD projects in After Effects.

FCP7 has solved the multiple card/display issue. I am running nvidia 7300 for one display and ATI Radeon 4870 for another. (I would use the ATI for both but I do not have the adapter for the miniature LED display port).
I tested the setup with four displays driven by three cards. No problems with FCP or Motion.
Motion doesn’t seem to care how many cards displays as you can throw at it. I’ve got enough to drive 8 30″ Apple Cinemas.

The Apple app that will break your 3-display configuration is Aperture.

Motion Tracking will nail your audio layer to the motion of the train camera but it will not handle the perspective simulation. That’s corner pinning or more serious 3D work.

Best thing that’s happened to Dave in a l-o-n-g time!

[Mikey Bouchereau] “Did you do anything special to get it to run? I have been thinking of upgrading my graphics card for my home mac.”

Negative.
Totally plug-n-play in the classic sense.
The card is recognized immediately and seamlessly by OS10.5.

Shooting the drips is the best option, al;ways the best. You can scale, rotate, combine, time warp, and apply additional effects to distort or add highlights. Trying to simulate liquids in AE is possible but dicey, it always looks simulated unless you are very skilled and patient. I am skilled, I am NOT patient.

You can search the Cow for drips and liquid tutorials.

Hoe you get better advice over the next few days. Sorry not to be able to solve this for you directly; I always prefer to do these as practical effects with a camera.
and…
Please come back and tell us how you solved your problem.

They may not be in the free trial but they are in the commercial product.
Many of the tutorials here on the Cow rely on expensive and and exotic plugs but Offset is in After Effects as it comes out of the box. Distort is an entire family of filters.
