> Are there any free / cheap presets / scripts that you use often and find valuable?
I list some resources for animation presets and scripts in After Effects Help.
Anything by Lloyd Alvarez or Dan Ebberts is gold.
You can also search for animation presets and scripts using the After Effects Community Help search.

Rebel CC is not a script. It is an animation preset.
Here’s Stu’s page about it.

from After Effects Help:
“To move selected layers so that their anchor points are at the center in the current view, choose Layer > Transform > Center In View or press Ctrl+Home (Windows) or Command+Home (Mac OS).”

I think that you’re not understanding how adjustment layers work.
An adjustment layer composites all of the layers beneath it in the composition into one image. Then, it applies the effects on the adjustment layer to that composite image.
So, pre-rendering just an adjustment layer doesn’t make any sense.

First, make sure that you’ve updated to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2). There were a lot of performance improvements in that update.
Second, check out the many tips on improving performance here.
You ask about the disk cache. See this page. The disk cache doesn’t affect RAM preview, by the way.

Yes, you can make credits and other graphic elements in After Effects that will look good on a theater screen.
If you have any specific questions as you’re doing this, ask back.

Yes, as people answered on the other forums where you posted this question, 1GB of RAM is very little for such a large composition. Also, you don’t say what version of After Effects you’re using, so it’s harder to help you.
For a list of tips on improving performance, see “Improve performance”.
