Thank you for your input! Here is the solution I came up with (not the best solution probably, but it worked). I went in a removed the 3D Flag plugin and opened the project. Then I went through and deleted all instances from all comps (I had the 3D Flag on a couple different comps and you have to remove all of them I found). Then saved the project under another name and closed AE. Then I reinstalled the 3D Flag plugin and reopened the project. Everything loaded fine. I then reapplied the 3D Flag plugin to the comps where it was installed before and set them up for my needs.
Right now everything appears to rendering fine. Maybe this can be assistance to someone else down the road. If anything changes I will follow up to let others now.
Thanks again Dave!

I wonder if you could use Particular on a text layer and then reverse it?

Dave, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. There is no footage in the comp of any of those types. There is a graphic element with the 3D Flag plugin applied, some Particular emitters, etc. Actually there is no footage of any kind in this particular comp as of yet. That will come later, if I can get it running again.
I also tried the following. I opened the project with the CAPS button locked but it still crashed. Then I went in a deleted the 3D Flag plugin and load the AE project again with the CAPS button locked and it loaded (with a message that the plugin was missing. Then I deleted the instance of “Glow” and it the project loaded fine. So I closed out, reinstalled the 3D Flag plugin and loaded the project and it crashed again.
To me this points to the 3D Flag plugin obviously, but I am unsure how to correct it and this plugin is a huge part of this project, actually the whole reason I bought it in the first place. It was functioning fine lat night, but today, nothing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond! I will look into those various solutions you mentioned above and see which would work best for us. As of now, this would be an ongoing/permanent service, so the only thing I can cross off would be the rental. Thanks again!

I am not 100% sure of the exact effect you are talking about, but maybe this would work. Maybe you could create a 3D text layer, then duplicate it. Then adjust the orientation/rotation until the layers are lined up the way you want and the mask off the layers at the corner of the floor.
I am sure there better solutions and maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks around here can help.

Good one, Dave! That should do the trick!

I am sure there are other that know of better/different ways. But I believe you can use the HUE/SATURATION effect under COLOR CORRECTION. Be sure check the box at the bottom that says COLORIZE. Once you do this you should see some color right away. Above that COLORIZE check box there is a COLORIZE SATURATION and COLORIZE HUE, adjust the hue to the color you want and saturate to taste. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply. I have a 1TB FW800 drive attached that has over 200 gigs left on it. I am monitoring with the digital out of my G5 tower. I just pulled up the system settings and it does say “Frame Offset 4”. I have never adjusted that setting before. I am assuming that is where the problem is coming from? Is it alright to switch that to “0”? Thanks again!

That is a good point and one that I meant to ask prior. I will double check that before purchasing. Thank you all for the advice!
