Hi Adam, if you are trying to enlarge something bigger than is normal sometimes you will need a filter like median, which takes a blurred image, and holds the edges pretty well and if you get extreme in size, can look almost toon like. The median filter is good to help.

my guess is your going to have to play with the preference settings memory in AE. I am not familiar with PC’s but trying to run any operating system AND an application at the same time with only 3 gigs of ram is pushing it. 4 minimum. 6 preferred and 8 is best (but really expensive) if you have a lot of free space on your hard disk, photoshop will utilize virtual memory to run with little ram. Its done that for yrs.
Keep your hard disk as free and optimized as possible as well.SuperNova

Ive been ‘finishing’ in after effects since version 1\ Cosa After Effects. Understanding compression, and lack of it, is the key. Lots and lots of storage as well. (I tend to do work that is in general always under 10 minutes in length) I like to have every effect option available to me at all times. Audio is something I take IN from an audio expert. I dont edit it in AE. My 2 cents

wouldnt just using a compositing mode work, experimenting with which one would be the way I would go about it. Possibly use a toon effect or a find edges and overlay that with a multiply or darken only as kind of a sketch reference….

watch out with those crt monitors. I would look into the health issues of being surrounded by those for days on end. Im not sure if its an issue anymore, but you can surf for that info. You might want to get a broadcast monitor. Its my experience that newbies who have not worked with interlaced content, can design things that dont work out well on tv. Broadcast colors and flicker issues are also things that can pop up when an image is delivered. Looks great on your monitor but less than stellar on air.
This may not effect anything in your future job searching, but it is something to consider.

not sure why you would need to use the 3d camera for this. I would use any number of shadow techniques, given that you have a mask. which is the hard part with live action content

simply draw the shape on a solid with the mask tool. Stroke that mask, and animate\keyframe
the stroke as you draw it into the next shape.SuperNova

having mp enabled is better than NOT having it enabled. Things will be snappier without it but slower.
Usually the hesitation only happens once as it loads the needed recources. If it happens EVERY time you render, than try clearing out your cache. Purging it. That works for me.SuperNova
