Follow up status report. I tried rendering with turning OpenGL on, which I thought was standard, and everything’s working fine again.

Hmmmm, I haven’t really experienced any issues like that. Only the render problem. But I’m going to stick with what you mentioned, it seems like that’s doing the trick.
Thanks Dave.

Would you suggest trying to downgrade back to 10.6.3 for the time being?
-
Thanks for the quick response, I’ll give it a shot right now.

Side note I should mention, I’m keeping the files on an external hard drive with a FireWire 800 connection while working from the laptop. Would that cause this?

I’m actually still having issues with slow render times with CS4, and I have just updated to 9.0.2. I’m just trying to splice together a few videos i took for work. It only totals about 3 minutes, and there are no added effects, only the clips end to end. It took nearly 3 hours to render.
I’m relatively familiar with AE CS3 and didn’t used to have this kind of problem. In fact, rendering existing videos together used to run really quickly.
I’m curious as to whether it has something to do with the fact that AE says it’s using 13% of 3GB of RAM? I have it set to utilize much more, but it never goes higher than 13%.
Any advice would be awesome, thanks. I have a MBP Intel 2.5 GHz with 4GB RAM (i know not the best, but usually better than this).

I had this problem the other day going from an RTF file to AE CS3. I found a simple work around for the lack of characters though.
When you paste it in, change the font to one of the OSX standard chinese fonts. Hei always worked for me.
Hope this helps.

I’m pretty sure that from your secondary explanation I can figure it out from there, because i have multiple lights it’ll be a little tricky. I’m still extremely new to the program so i really haven’t dealt with tags at all as of yet.
Thanks for all your patience with my limited knowledge of the program, it’s been a big help.

Actually i have 1 more follow up question. If I use an Omni Light to make my background white and exclude my object, how can I make it so my original cast shadows still show up. I need shadows, but on a white BG. Any ideas?
-
I had never noticed the exclude attributes before. I’m still pretty new to the program and am having to self teach until we start going over this in class. None the less the company I’m working for has me doing it. Luckily there are people here, as well as myself, who are able to make up for me not knowing everything about this, i.e. Photoshopping in post.
Thanks for the help, you saved me TONS of time in the future.
