Hey thanks for the response!

I’m only using jpegs for this project, there’s no video content at all (the reason why I’m working with so many layers).

The multi-processing makes sense now. When I had it switched on the whole render would either just crash or not even begin so It’s been switched off. I think I’m a little confused as far as the RAM situation with after effects. Am I correct in thinking AE only recognized 3Gb of RAM anyway? Is it worth my while buying, say, another 4Gb to total 10? Would I be able to enable multi processing and speed up my render times that way?

If all else fails I’ll just have to power through but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t making some ort of schoolboy error with my settings.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fast response Dan!

Do you have a suggestion as how I could go about creating a random exposure level for each photo? Would it be a similar expression added to a levels effect?

Thanks so much for your time. You’ve been a really big help.
