I only have 2GB RAM because I thought WinXP would not recognize any more. I am adding one extra Gig this afternoon because I also run Avid and Avid has a patch allowing 3GB to be recognized. If I add more than 3GB will it be of any use with AE? I would happily add more if I knew it would be useful. There are plenty of open RAM slots on this machine.

I guess we were just lucky to get that one good render. Trying a couple more renders with Open GL off, it still crashed on both attempts. Message: “Error invoking Advanced 3D”

That is exactly the process I use with very nice results. It’s a very simple process once you get used to it. There is no bypasing Squeeze or some other compressor; you can’t do this directly out of AVID.
Before you make the QT refs, if the timeline has many layers and/or effects, you should do a video mixdown. It will speed the entire process considerably. This is not really necessary if your timeline is very simple.
I have tested Procoder, TMPGEnc and Squeeze for MPEG-2 compression and for me, Squeeze not only gave the best looking video but also was the fastest. This is in direct contrast to some tests I did a few years ago. I use the default “Large NTSC” setting, specifying “lower field first” and “unconstrained” image. Before changing to “unconstrained” the 16×9 image displayed incorrectly on my plasma screen.
