Sorry for being unclear Dave. I use Windows XP Pro at this time. although now a slightly older machine that only gives me 2 gigs of ram–it’s worked fine for my purposes.

The problems are completely differnt from AE 7 and what I’m getting with AE 8.

Within 7, I recieve this AE Error: Problem retrieving sound data from movie. This is a reverence to the video capture file,

In 8 I get this message “Getting aruntime error from the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library R6025” and then it says “pure virtual funtcion call” This is not a reference to the video capture file.

Thanks for your help. It did work. My only problem now is that it’s rotating on the anchor point of the document rather than the center point of shapes.

[Jay Thompson]

Another question Matt. Is there a way to alter the anchor point of a grouped set of objects? I can do this in After Effects—but I’m not sure about Pro Animator.

I did as you asked, please looka t the result I’m getting. The elements are turning from pose to pose but they are aslo animating into the center and back out. I would them to turn as a group—like a clock would. Any advise?

Here it is.

Thanks.

“…and you installed 16GB of RAM, the programs couldn’t take advantage of it. About the only improvement that I could see would be that you could have all the programs open all the time and there would be enough RAM to go around. But if you’re trying to render in AE, imported/capture into Avid, work in Photoshop, etc all at the same time you’re going to tax your processors (even with two quad-cores, you’ll be pushing it).”

Very likely knowing me I was unclear.

I have Windows XP Pro (I think it is 32 bit) with SP 2. I was under the impression that 2 gigs of RAM is the most the OS could use. Or is it that the indiviual apps can only use 2 gigs each…but if you had more RAM say 4 or 8 gigs I run all of them?

But if I can’t afford to completely switch over to Mac what options might I have on the PC end?

I also have some issues with preformance and speed.

I have a Windows bassed Dell 690 workstation dual quad machine that seems to be very fast. I’m runnning windows 2000 pro with 2 gig of ram.

I am looking to update my opperating system to vista 64 bit so that I can stock up on RAM.

Questions: I run AE 7.0, Avid Express HD, and many of Adobe’s CS3 graphic programs. What kind of upgrade andor compatability issues do you think I might run accross?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks John.

All is now clear. The client wants to keep his specific logo colors. So I guess I’m stuck.
