I do, in fact, have audio. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Malcolm Desoto]

thanks for the advice. I’ll try that.

I have only one machine!

I think it is just a matter of having alot of effects going.

I haven’t had this problem with any other projects.

hmmmmmm…color correction. I have a keyed out guy that is actually composed of 4 seperate layers (the green screen was lit very poorly and I had to do alot of masking). Some particle Play Ground effects, a fractal noise effect that makes up my entire back ground. Lots of masking of moving pre comped layers. I think that’s about it.

I’m a huge fan of your tutorials by the way, Maltaannon. =)

Oh, I guess I should tell you when the crashes usually occur.

When I’m scrubbing though the timeline while holding down the CTRL key, while I’m trying to Ram Preview the entire comp at half res, when I’m just moving through the timeline frame by frame using the page down key.

Thanks.

I’m using AE Pro 7. Workin’ fine.

[Malcolm Desoto]

excellent! Thank you sir.

well, what part of the mirror effect specifically? You could do the reflection easy. You could do the cracked glass melding into a new mirror fairly easy. However, I don’t see how you could pull off the liquid metal on the hand without a 3D app.

Just my two cents.

[Malcolm Desoto]

ha ha. Thanks for the advice.

[Malcolm Desoto]

Could you be a little bit more specific? I don’t quite understand what you are trying to achieve.
