Will look into a third party =20 solution for my toolbox. As for Grow Bounds, tried it as first option. Didn't work for =20 whatever reason, as did Red Giants Grow Bounds Resorted to Lens Blur which is a nicer blur certainly, but it is a =20 real render hit for the simple result I need. Added significant =20 render time to my 16bit 60sec 1080p24 project on a 8 core MacPro in =20 CS3. I do need more RAM but I would guess an effect would tax the =20 proc more than the memory, right?
