No … but you could bring the other comp into your main comp and make it visible (50%) when you need it. You could also turn it into a guide layer in AE 6.5.

AE’s OpenGL implementation is severely limited. Most people switch it off.
That said, for dynamic updates, click the first button in the set of five at the top of the timeline.
For more info, check the preferences under “previews”, or look in the help under animating layers>previewing animation.

Sounds like a job for effect>perspective>CC cylinder, one of the Cycore plugins that come with a non-educational AE 6.5.
Make a text layer, then apply the cylinder effect.

Hit the flyout triangle at the top right of the info palette to change the range.

Try searching the COW on “handwriting” or “signature”.

You could check out the graphic bed project at the Adobe Studio on the Adobe site, or search the COW for “graphic bed”.

Yesss … but keyframes for position, rotation or scale can have different spatial and temporal interpolations.
Try making the first keyframe a hold keyframe, as Filip suggested.

XP uses a lot of RAM. Right now, I just have Outlook and IE open and the RAM usage is 323 MB on my laptop.
You should purge your RAM before each new RAM preview in After Effects (“AE”): edit>purge>image caches. The RAM does not purge automatically when you make a change to the comp.
If that doesn’t work, get more RAM. In my opinion, you should have at least 2 GB to work comfortably in AE, but 1 GB should do in a pinch.

Any clues from your activity monitor? RAM usage? Processor usage?
Anything else running at the same time?
Does it work properly when you quit and restart AE, or if you shut down and restart the G5?
OS version?
Quicktime version?
Have you tried trashing the AE prefs?Steve
