thanks for the help. I just went back to a older file and used it. For some reason when using long lings of 3d text the computer slows to a crawl. I have a G4 at work which is having the problems, but at home on my AMD it floats right thru it. The effect has to be done, because it’s a bunch of news promos and they all need to look the same, and of course some are already airing!:) It’s taking nearly 12 minutes a frame to render and the only thing on screen is 6 lines of 3d text. Any suggestions, workarounds, any help at all will be great!
