Thank you so much. That seemed to work. I did what you suggested. When I tried to do it on the next layer, my screen went blank and my MacBook fan kicked on. I had to hard reset the machine. I reloaded the mac, opened AE again and it happened again.
Being new to AE, is this a common problem? Do I need to change any settings for hardware acceleration or is my AE installation or template corrupt somehow? Ive never had this happen before. I know video applications are memory intensive. Maybe I have a bad memory block? Any ideas?
Thanks.
