The default is for the render details to close after half and hour or so. If you want it to stay open permanently you can option click to twirl it open.

Precomp your footage blur slightly and crank the contrast (I often use channel mixer followed by curves) Then track the whole comp
Good Luck

I think the thing that has really blown me away with AE7 is the 32 bit floating point bit depth. Now you can actually comp a realistic sun by mimicing it’s real world light intensity. AE7 It is a bit buggy though, I agree.

I just thought I’d mention that you don’t need to roto really if you want to pull a key with a few choice effects.
If you are hell bent on rotoing though, go for it (don’t forget to track before you roto)

Hi I just took a stab at it with primatte and the tinderbox matte tool effect. I think if you pull 3 or 4 primatte keys, one for the hand, one for the shadow, one for the torso and legs and one for the face, then use loose garbage masks to bring them together into one matte you should be ok.
Here is a rough example where I mostly focused on getting the hand right, I also pulled a key for the shadows. There is still a bit of a red rim at the bottom but hey it’s 1:30 am. There are no masks used, just primatte, set matte and matte tool with a bit of curves to boost the original image befor pulling the key.

Primatte might work.

Good Luck

Imagine a photo of a person sitting in the shade of a tree with big puffy clouds in the background and in this image, being able to see accurate detail in the darkest shadows (say the person’s wrist watch) and also be able to see all the fine detail in the very very bright billows of the clouds. A JPEG can’t hold all that info, something has to get clipped out in a JPEG, either the watch or the bright part of the clouds has to go. A file that can hold from very dark to very bright info simultaneously is called a high dynamic range image. To truly appreciate the potential of HDR you should see what HDR images look like when they are motion blurred. Andrew kramer has a great tutorial about using camera raw files as HDR images in AE.

Good Luck

Ram controls how many frames you can load into ram and how many apps you can have open. Processor speed affects speed. I think.
