A particle generator such as Particular or ParticleIllusion is great for animating this kind of thing.

There is actually a faster way that doesn’t require you to “squish” anything:
1. Enable Time Remapping.
2. Decide where you want your freeze frame and make a new keyframe.
3. Move forward 1 frame and add another keyframe.
4. Select this new keyframe, then right click on it and choose Select Following Keyframes (this selects the default end keyframe as well)
5. Drag the now selected keyframes to the right.
6. Make the first new keyframe (from step 2) a Hold keyframe.
7. Now the frames between the 2 new keyframes are freeze frames.By selecting the second new keyframe and the default end keyframe and dragging you’re not altering the playback timing.
Oh, and by the way, AE7 has a new Freeze Frame function (LAYER > TIME > FREEZE FRAME).

Apply the effect to an adjustment layer above your other layers. You won’t be able to see all of the layers in the Layer window and adjust the effect path without precomposing but you can have the Layer Panel and Comp Panel open side by side – watching the comp panel as you make adjustments in the Layer panel.

Well Michael you aren’t the only one wondering I’m sure. I guess it all boils down to what you need the most; if it’s FCP then buy the Macbook, if it’s AE and PS then buy the G4. I don’t think there is any perfect solution at the moment while we are in this transitional stage.
By the way, I saw your reel on the manager’s desk 🙂

Have you selected Draft in your Render Settings?

Each circle needs to be an individual path. Expanding the stroke won’t work so you need to create this manually. Just make one small circular path, set your centre point (by selecting the Rotation tool and Option/Alt clicking where you want the centre of the circle to be). In the resulting dialog box set a degree amount, then click Copy. Then just click Command/Control D to duplicate the path until you’ve formed a circle. Now you have a circle of circular paths which you can save and import into 3D Invigorator.
