Looks like something Andrew Kramer would do at Video Co-Pilot.
They have a TON of tutorials for After Effects (sorry, no Motion). I use both. But the AE tutorials are awesome. They also have a lot of prebuilt templates and packages that you can buy.
Look at this link: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/
In particular the tutorials for 51. Evolution Preview and 61. Growing 3D Vines.
Hope this helps.

Hey Gary,
Thanks for the info. Nothing has changed in the storage department. I’m running about 3TB on esata drives. The main drive I am working on now has been a Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB. it’s never been slow. Never had this problem with the frames until the AJA update.
That’s trick info on the monitor. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks for that! Never thought about it.

The movie I just completed is HD, but all the long form is SD.

I should probably move this topic to FCP.
I just got done rebooting after trashing preferences and render time went from 2 to 1 hour.
I just completed editing a short film last week that was shot 16mm and loaded in here at 422 (HQ) in HD. It was a champ to work on. Hardly had to do any rendering, and IT was FAST! The only time I had to really wait for rendering was subtitles on foreign language parts and titles. They didn’t take more than 20-30 minutes. What I am getting tonight is like pulling teeth.

Bob,
Here’s a question. When I worked at a facility that had a Quad Core box we had similar Rendering issues crop up. We found that once the FCP project file got over a certain size it would start causing problems. Crashing on a regular basis.
Once we did some media management and started a new file, the problems went away. This file I am working on has grown in the past two days from 110MB to 148MB.

It’s the nature of the beast, I know. I have been blessed with this box since May of ’05. It’s been a real work horse with ZERO problems, UNTIL tonight.
I have a TV series coming up the end of the 1st Quarter with a new box configured and ready to go for it.

That’s wild. That’s the first I heard of that one.
I NEVER thought you were lying Bob. Not for a second. Seriously.
I have always used it in AJA 4.X and it has worked liked a charm. I have been pounding away at this machine for quite a few months.
I never had a dropped frame.

Hey Bob,
I should restate the “wicked fast”, it’s faster than the firewire drives. But I am having issues with FCP in general since the new AJA upgrade.
It has been crashing a lot, especially on Quitting.
I have been averaging 2 hours total rendering time to a 30-minute long form. Been doing two every month since July. Plus the spots.
Now tonight the program is dragging ass big time. Two hours to render 5 minutes. I know it’s not the drive. Something has changed with the AJA update. I am in the process of trashing FCP preferences, repair disk permissions and restarting to see if that will help.
The first show went to top flawlessly after I made the previous changes.
On the second of two long forms I am working on I have the same setup with the same spots. I have the commercial sequences nested in the main program.
The PRINT TO VIDEO puked halfway into the second spot.
I replaced the first two spots with the actual clips from the spot timeline. Tried to PRINT TO VIDEO again. Made it past the two spots. Puke on the next set of spots. Always halfway through the second of two spots.
So I have re-inserted the spot sequences into the timeline and rendered. Then PRINT TO VIDEO.
