No, the graphics card probably isn’t affecting anything. It might speed things up with OpenGL enabled, but ususally that’s more trouble than its worth. Most of us don’t use it.
Do you have Depth of Field enabled for the camera? That would slow it down.

I prefer sequences too. I render 32-bit TGAs (if the alpha is needed) from Lightwave, or TIFFs from Cinema 4D. Try TGAs.
To import a numbered sequence into AE, select the first image_000.tga (or whatever), check “TGA sequence” then import. It should be in the Help.

[Steve Roberts] “… select “hue, lightness and saturation”… “
… or you could just use “hue and lightness”. 🙂

Sorry, I was wrong on the “hue” thing.
Pick your “from” colour using the eyedropper, then at the bottom of the controls, select “hue, lightness and saturation”, beacuse the blue needs to change all of those to change to white.

What do you mean by “touch ur clone”?
And please switch off Caps Lock. If you’re rendering, minimize AE to avoid redraw.

Time stretch or remap doesn’t make the clip soft. That would be your importing and interpreting (file>interpret footage>main. Make sure the clip is interpreted at its original size and frame rate. If it is interlaced, and you want to scale/rotate/move/blur/distort the clip, you should separate frames. If it is not interlaced, you should set field separation (in the interpret footage dialog) to “off”. Check this, since separating an interlaced clip can soften it.
If you want constant speed of 50%, you should just Time Stretch (not remap, that’s for fancier time changes) the layer to 200%. If you right-click on a column in the timeline, you should be able to make a Time Stretch column visible, and make the change there.

[Luis Segovia] “…do you know if the book After Effects in Production deals with issues like this?”
I’m not at the office, so I can’t check the book there. If you like, you could write Trish Meyer at cybmotion.com and ask which book covers it … but they are rather busy, so I don’t know if I’d ask them to solve the problem through e-mail. 🙂
I recommend you get all three books (CMG 1,2 and AEinProd) because you’ll refer to all of them at one time or another.

If you are using a light, make it a warm colour and apply a wiggle expression (with numbers for just the freq & amp, omit the rest) to the light’s position or point of interest so the shadows wiggfle around a bit.
That’s one way …

How did you apply Time Remapping? What was the process?
Do you want the clip to play at a constant slow speed, or gradually slow down to 50%?
What do you mean “looked the same”? What looked the same as what?
Did you time stretch to 200%? -
Have you seen this?

By the way, if you want any two keyframes to keep looping, you can use a loop expression (the default is fine) but you have to set two keys first. Anyway, check out the tut if you haven’t already.
