No, the render time got worse 3 frames in.

Todd, see my screenshot above. The help I received in that thread, to date, has increased my render time exponentially. That’s why I’m following up.
There MUST be a quicker way (under 48 hours) to render a 7-minute long movie that isn’t even Ray-traced.

Sigh, here is a screenshot of my render queue. 1034 hours for a JPEG Sequence?!

Thanks Darby. So essentially I just need to duplicate the screen layer, make it an environment map, and set its Appears in Reflections to “Only”? Then mess with lighting settings to get the look I want?

I’ll need to learn more about environment maps and Set Matte. As I mentioned above, I am in Ray-traced 3D; will that affect my ability to implement your solution?
-
I thought about that, but the problem is that I’m in Ray-traced 3D, so no blending modes are available! (And I need to be in Ray-traced because I have extrusion elsewhere in the comp.)
Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the original post.

Very interesting! I was not aware of the speed graph, but that sounds exactly like what I’m trying to do. Would it be possible to incorporate the speed graph on a Null Layer with Slider Control, so that I can speed up or slow down multiple other layers with one change?
Also, now that I’m able to get rotation to behave how I want, is there a simple way to do the same with Wiggle()? I have a couple layers that wiggle their rotation with:
wiggle(1,360,0.5)…but I’d like to slow that down too. Similar problem to simple rotation: once the timeline gets to the slowed down keyframe, the wiggle slows down appropriately (I change the 1 per sec to 0.1 per sec in the wiggle expression). But between the 1 and 0.1 keyframes, the wiggle goes crazy, and doesn’t progressively slow down.

Thanks for the very detailed response. Your suggestion at the end makes perfect sense too, I’ll try it out.
