That was the first place I checked before making this post. I don’t see anywhere in the prefs to do this.

Thank you so much!

smoothcam works in the background. you should have a small box that comes up immediately after applying the effect that says “analyzing ‘clip name’ ”

either you’re looking in the wrong library or you need to reinstall. make sure you look in
~ / library / Application Support
not
“user” / library /

this post is well over a year old and it took a long time to figure out how to fix my problem. the fix has helped several people who have emailed me to say “thanks”. i’m sorry, if this doesn’t solve your issue, i don’t know how to help. all i can say is, if you find a solution, please post to this thread so that you may help others in the same predicament.

my guess is quicktime. the boards all over the net are filled with people who have had all kinds of unexplainable things happen the moment they installed the update. i installed the new QT update shortly before i had this particular issue. i can’t say with certainty that it was causing the problem because i hadn’t been working on this AE file prior to the update, but it caused other problems for me. the problem with QT is it is almost impossible to downgrade to a previous version.
a four second shot? how frustrating. if you want to send me your files i can give it a run on my system… shouldn’t take too much time.

jai, i have since upgraded to a new mac. i never found the reason for that behavior and, as you can see by the length of the thread, nobody else has either. i haven’t tried rendering out those files that were giving me so much trouble, but i don’t think i will have the same issue as i’m running cs4 on a new mac. the only thing that did work for me was cutting down the number of layers. have you tried that?

Thanks Charleen. I did something very similar as a workaround. It took longer and isn’t exactly what I wanted to do but it got me through for now. I too will be looking forward to an explanation or fix to this annoying problem.

Dave, I see your posts all over the place, I’m sure you’ve got a lot of knowledge. I am having the same trouble as Charleen. My clips are nested in a composition that has motion. The composition is a 3D layer. When I scrub the timeline of the main comp, the motion of the composition itself works like it’s supposed to, but the nested clips act like freeze frames. This happens when I render as well. I can go inside the clips and scrub and they still act like freeze frames. When I PURGE ALL the motion in the clip will scrub like it’s supposed to but if I scrub the composition that holds the clips, they are frozen again.
I’ve tested the heck out of this. It doesn’t matter if it’s one clip or many. I don’t think it’s a memory/processor issue because this same thing happened to me once before when I was working with DV (I am currently working with DVCPRO HD 1080 30). I’m on a dual 2.5 G5, using CS3 Professional 8.0.0. My system is 10.5.5, using Quicktime 7.5.5.
I have tried PURGE ALL, I’ve made sure my max RAM cache isn’t too low (60%). I tried increasing it; that didn’t work. I went into MEMORY AND CACHE and clicked CLEAN DATABASE AND CACHE. I turned off open GL, turned on Adaptive resolution. Nothing works.
I see your post about the “continuous updating button” but I don’t know what you’re referring to. Anybody? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
