I have two suggestions:
If you can draw well,draw some shapes of the light in photoshop,and import them into AE.you can get what you want by adjusting the transform mode or appling some effects onto them.
Some plugin sepecially some particle sys plugin would probably be required.
you can try travling the web site http://www.trapcode.com
their productions maybe helpful.My name is always misread as COW……..:)

1:Creat a new composition
2:put all your images into this composition
3:select all the layers and push:alt+ctrl+F
4:right click the layers and click :Keyframe assistant/Squence layers
5:fill in your requirement about fading in/out
6:click OK
7:if you want to appply some effect for them,select one layer,then apply the effect and adjusting it,after that you can copy the effect and paste it to all other layersMy name is always misread as COW……..:)

If you want to obtain a prism effect ,I think you can apply a displacement Map effect to the background of the diamond,that can imitate the refraction of light.

It seems I overlooked 2 plugins which can make smoke in AE.Trapcode Particular and DE smoke are plugins for AE used to make smoke for videos.
But I feel Particle Illusion can deel it better and quicker.Since I am in my leisure hours,I tried making an footage like that.It has been uploaded to this link:https://www.seaair.com.cn/smoke.mov
Is that similar with what you wanted? -
I see.Thanks.

It is normal that it’s taking forever for your G5 to render even one frame 2 minutes. AE particular always require much time to render.I think it is a little hard for AE to immitate very real-look smoke.I don’t know how you made the smoke.But if you firstly creat a particular system effect ,then find some pictures of smoke and add them into you composition as the layer map.If there is to much or too large mass of smoke,try reducing the number of particulars emited per second and adjust the their size.Finally you can get a smoke-like effect.
By the way ,another thing I want to say is that If I was you I would make the smoke with a 3D software like 3DMAX or Maya.There are many examples in many forums from witch you can leran how to make smoke easily.
However,If you had got a software named ParticleIllusion,you will find it is very easy to make smoke with that software.
If you fail to make the smoke with all the sugestion I have given,I can give you my last sugestion:Just take a shot of smoke then fuse it with your video.Don’t ask me HOW CAN I GET SMOKE,there is smoke everywhere in our daily life.
after all I want to say that AE is mainly a software for fusion,not a software for everything.So don’t sxpect that it could make everything for you.In many cases it’s very important to use a 3D software or even to take a shot.
That’s my idea,wish to be helpful.

I met such trouble for several times.
The first time,I went cross this trouble by reinstall my AE5.5.
The second time ,I found if I loged in my Windows with another user name,this trouble dispeared.
