Hi Dave !

Many thanks for the informed post. I can visualise exactly what you mean. I shall play with the technique later in the week, thought I’d do some research first !

I found the blog I mentioned:

Guys, thank you soo much for the tips !

I’m going to test it out on some ‘stock’ footage first of all. Hopefully they still want me to do this ‘effect’ for them, sure is unusual but good to learn 🙂

Will 100% try that out !
Thank you.

Yep, I have also tried that (the importing into a new project).
Still crashes on one system, but is perfectly fine on the laptop.

I have other projects that use the same combination of FX, and they open up fine.
VERY VERY WEIRD !

Still crashing fella 🙁

Hi Eddie !

Many thanks for that trick, I’ll give it a go in one moment!

The laptop is faster, but I need to be editing with sounds as well for this one.

Found this after some hunting !

there is a work around for that…

what you need is to make ae think that your footage is longer than it is. to do that you need to ‘loop’ your footage in the interpret footage settings… select your footage in your project window, right-click it or file>interpret footage>main…

in the interpret footage menu, near the bottom, is a loop number, set it to the number of loops that will make your footage long enough, in your case ‘2’ (you may also need to pull your out point of that clip to match the new length if it is already in a comp).

Hi cheers for the response.
Yeah I normally use TGA for my 3d work, so it makes sense to do that then !
