There is no animation, but I might put on a ROUGHEN EDGES effect. That is interesting, I was told that TIFF take less time then JPG, is that not true?

When I render, it says – 60% of 4Gigs of RAM being used!?! I am on Vista 64 bit (which recognizes all 8 gigs), why doesn’t AE?

Ok, I am trying to understand what you are saying :

If I make the blackboard at 720X540 roughly, when I zoom into it from afar, it looks pixellated and not sharp – not what I want. So I made it a bit smaller at 2500 X 1750. I am hoping that speeds things up. I am not really that knowledgeable when it comes to AE, so I might be missing some easy steps.
Now, should I precomp the photos? There is a stack of them and they flip from pic to pic – will precomping the set of photo’s speed things up?

I am not sure what you mean by hide the changing of the blackboard comp…

Ok,

If I am understanding you right :
1) I should get rid of the PSD and make it a jpg – will that help?

2) Split the large PSD into four smaller pictures and then link them in 3D space in ae?

The reason I wanted to go so big is that it is a giant chalkboard with dozens of pictures on it. I wanted to be able to fly around (which I can) and stop on the photos – and the photos I wanted to be high resolution enough to be able to zoom in a bit. Maybe I didn’t need to make the comp that big? Was there a better way?

Thanks, that is a great place to start.
Any other suggestions?

I tried parenting the front and the back cover, but found when I turned the cover over, the back would sometimes show through at certain points of its turn, and then not at others. I had to manually keyframe it to work.

The whole project deals with the 1910-1930’s so it would have to be blackboard. I am going to move the camera around exposing photos, but also having them fade when the camera is not on them, so the actual size doesn’t have to be extremely large. I would like most of the trappings of a realistic scene with shadows, some written words in chalk etc.
The photos I am using are all JPG and it will be a 720X480 DV sized project.

Would that just repeat the edges of the graphic?
