    Simple transition causes massive render times... why?

    Thanks for the info, Tallbloke! I still seemed pretty slow to me, but maybe I need to perform a render with absolutely no reformatting or any computation involved... in other words, a direct copy, and see if that takes a long time to "render". -- Glenn

    Why is the “chmod” not working

    One thing I have discovered is that 'chmod' is an incredibly slow operation... if you perform it in a large loop on many files, it will take a long time. I always start my script with: umask 0; And then, if I am creating directories, I say: mkdir $dir,0777 unless -d $dir; When I create...

    3D in After Effects 5.0

    I don't believe that this is possible in AE5.0. Your best bet is to animate your 3D object in other program designed to do that, such as 3D Studio MAX, for example, and then pull the animated result into AE as a video clip. Sorry.
