CC Ball Action works great for that,
or overlay a fine grid and wiggle the opacity

When you look for something…
the first thing you’ll find is something else …

made me think about this topic,

there seems to be a script to bind shortcuts inside CS3 !

Wich OS are you working on ?
Do you use Quicktime files as sources ?

I’ve seen the same thing happen on some of the computers I work on.
Mostly when MultiProcessing is enabled or when updates are done to Quicktime.
I had a hard time getting them to work again, sometimes re-install 🙁

Try to convert your Video-source to an Image sequence and see if it gets better ( to find what’s causing the slow down)

Make sure there’s no other binding to F3

in my txt file I can find : “ToggleEffectControls” = “(Ctrl+Shift+T)(F3)”
so you’ll need to delete the F3 there

The Key-bindings only can be set in the txt-file,
I’ve heard they’ll change it in CS17 😉

AE only allows 3 camera shortcuts to 3 keys

Don’t forget to use the ‘ Assign Shortcut to “X camera” ‘
So if you’re in Front view and use the “Assign to”, the camera will be mapped to the selected function key.

You can edit you shortcut preferences;

they are located in:
User/Library/Preferences/Adobe/AfterEffects/8.0/
and called
Adobe After Effects 8.0 Shortcuts.txt

make a backup of the file and change the settings you want;

“SwitchTo3DViewFirst” = “(F10)”
“SwitchTo3DViewB” = “(F11)”
“SwitchTo3DViewC” = “(F12)”

seems weird,
maybe check your cache settings,
or reset all AE’s preferences by starting AE while holding CTRL+SHIFT+ALT,
that fixes quite a lot of things 😉

under XP32 can use 3GB Ram per instance using the 3GB switch !!

XP32: AE uses 2GB/instance
XP32/3GB switch: AE uses 3GB/instance
XP64: AE uses 4GB/instance
OSX: AE uses 3GB/instance

If you look a little closer, you’ll see that the image break-ups follows curves in the original image, that means that there’s a lot of manual labour in it 🙂
Masking all the pieces by hand and some scripting to make the movements

It’s the 3GB switch,
not the 4GB 😉
your boot.ini in wrong
