No, you must be using a trial version of a plug in, perhaps cycore, or trapcode?

It previews/renders much faster (real time) depending on what you are doing and what card you have. On a 7800gt, the preview is amazing!

thanks.

Open GL worked for me, but I’m on XP, it must be something with your setup. Do you have the latest drivers? Does it say in the previews window that your card is supported?
-
That is possible in some programs, but you can’t link a mask point to a tracking point yet (I hope you can in the future) but there is a way to do a similar thing. you can use another layer as a mask (a track matte, is what they call it) and then you could track the head and link the track to an oval shape. The problem with this method is that if they rotate their head, the shape changes, but depending on how much you are blurring the background, with some edge feathering the results might be acceptable.

The main monitor is being driven by the 7800 (including the video overlay on the tv (monitor 3)) the only thing hooked to the 6200 is the second monitor. I read the stuff on adobe’s site about dual graphics, but that didn’t seem to answer the question of how to get it to default to the right card.

yes, you use the pen tool and you need to go frame by frame for the shots that you need the effect on. there are tutorials on rotoscoping, you just need to search for one, since they would be more helpful than me.

You could rotoscope the person (basically outline them with a mask) and then apply a blur to the background and then reverse it for the rack focus. Basically the simple answer is yes you can, to make it look real is much harder. It is way better to do that in camera if you can.

Have you ever thought about pulling your sequence into another sequence and then adding your effects in there? or cropping everything in there? I was hoping that it was like an adjustment layer in after effects, but it sounds like it isn’t, but still, you can still do (and have been able to for years now) apply effects to a whole timeline by the afore mentioned method.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but the system you are using is kind of slow to “expect” real-time performance, and another thing that you might not want to hear is that I tried AE 7.0 last night and it was playing things real time that it couln’t even play 1/3 real time before. AE 7.0 is really something else. You want to make sure that you’re graphics card is on their list of solutions though.
Basically, when I work on machines that aren’t as speed I lower the resolution of the preview until I need to see the full quality thing. At first I was surprised when I started working with After Effects, because it wasn’t real time, but when you look at what it can do, it makes sense.
