Thank you for this from the distant future (2018). It helped out greatly.

If you need to recreate this exactly then it shouldn’t be too hard to just try and copy the actions of the label in the video and keyframe your 3D label object every few frames or so. The string could then be a generate_beam effect with the starting point somewhere at the top off screen and the end point being the top of the label. In order to get it to look correct in 3D space look up the toComp / toWorld expressions. The tied up string at the top of the label would be part of the label layer.

Isn’t RAM preview length more to do with the amount of available RAM you currently have rather than the size of the cache folder?

Why are you enabling continuous (not contentious, although arguably it has lead to many fallings out in the past) rasterisation on the layer in the first place? If we know the reason it will be easier to find a solution / workaround.

You can achieve that sort of effect by selecting your layer (in this case the Army guy on a transparent background) and then going to Layer/Auto Trace in After Effects. You’ll then get a new solid with the mask of the Army guy on it which you could then add a stroke or a fill to to generate the same type of effect as in the video.

I may have missed the point here but in case you didn’t know, you don’t have to drag out a text box to create text. You can just click the text tool anywhere and then you can proceed to indent the text on each line as necessary using spaces and tabs or use the indentation controls in the Paragraph window for each line of text.

Seven years later this was exactly what I needed to read. Thanks.

I just experienced this issue too.
I can confirm that resetting the workspace has fixed the problem. -
That’s fine too but really it’s just overcomplicating things.
If you put one flare over every light bulb then you don’t have to worry about animating anything or moving anything around. The flares just loop over and over with a random length pause between each loop.You can then play the clip for as long as you need to without every having to worry about keyframing anything.
My original question was only if someone knew of a script or shortcut that would make it easier to place the flares into position in the first place.
