Did you try changing the “echo operator” within the effect’s controls? Methinks “add” over a white BG is the problem.

[Byron Nash] “Good news is, it’s quicker to make the second time!”
… and less of a pain when you save new versions of the file incrementally. The time between saves is proportional to the amount of work you’re willing to re-do in case of a crash. Incremental saving is easy in 6.5: hit ctrl-alt-shift-S.
Sorry I can’t help with your crash.

After Effects does not create anything interactive. It creates stills and movies such as Quicktime movies.
You need Flash or an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver to create links and rollovers.

That’s a good question, as I’ve only read about it in this forum over the past few days. Perhaps a search for “7.0.2” and “quicktime”?
… unless I’m mistaken.

24pA is still 29.97, but with a different pulldown cadence.

I think it’s a QT issue … somebody recently advised downgrading to 7.0.1 or 6.5 or so.

Well, it’s actually 29.97, since pulldown was added in camera. If you want to work in 23.976, you should interpret at 29.97 and lower field first, using “remove pulldown” (when interpreting) using an Advanced 24P cadence as you described at 2:3:3:2. Try selecting “guess 24pa pulldown” first, then try one of the advanced pulldown choices.

The bottleneck is the laptop’s hard drive, which might not be able to push through that kind of data.
Make a 1920×1080 movie compressed to WMV or Sorenson, set your laptop to that res, then try to play it on your laptop. If it plays smoothly, great. If not, go back to standard def.

I’d use a comp set to the DV widescreen preset, then switch on Pixel Aspect Ratio correction while working, just to make things look sort of normal on the computer. When it’s time to render, I’d switch off PAR correction and render the comp.
Why do you want to work in HD? Working in HD can slow you down, due to the larger image size. I’d only do it if an HD deliverable was required, now or in the near future. Since HD DVDs won’t be on the market for a while, there’s no need to create one now. Even if the TV is HD-compatible, how would you deliver the HD material? Certainly not on a DVD.
So I’d stick to DV widescreen 720×480. Use the preset.
If I’m wrong on your HD situation, please set me straight.
