“Is there a way to collapse multiple layers and reveal them (not in the composition, but in timeline and layers windows) all at once?”
You can collapse and uncollapse in the layer list and the timeline by multi selecting the Layers you want to affect and using the left and right arrow keys.
“How about something akin to the U key in AE, which reveals all (and only) attributes with keyframes?”
I haven’t discovered a way to do that yet.

“AE is MUCh better at this as it has pro features like exponential scale (which simulates an optical zoom). It also has 3D cameras whcih can work for layered Moco. (there’s a tutorial on the cow on how to use it).
Buy a copy of version 4 used on ebay for $100.. it’ll do what you need…. ”
Wasn’t 3D a 5.0 feature (and the Advanced 3D renderer came in 5.5 if I recall correctly)?

” As I am not a professional video editor, I do not need the program to run in 30 fps all the time”
Since it’s a motion graphics appliction and not an editing app, it’s not about playback speed but interactivity. A lot of people seem to get hung up on the FPS performance which cracks me up. Use it like you would use AE or Combustion (only play back when you need to, you’ll still expierance the RT interactivity just making your adjustments while animating) and you should have a ball. As long as you keep that in mind, you should find the iMac plenty fast.

I’d do it the same way they discuss over here.

Also there is a document called Important Installation Considerations here that talks about it.
