I have one now that I just cannot import into AE. It's 300MB file, but I've= imported files 5 times that size before. This one DOES have a dizzying amount of curves, levels, color fills and vir= tually every type of adjustment available. I've done my best to flatten as = many sections as possible. AE brings it in and I see the Comp and the folder, but then the black arrow= cursor sits there with a white tip and doesn't change. A minute later I ge= t the beach ball and have to force quit. I've tried this with two different versions of AE on two different computer= s--same problem. Is there some specific PS adjustment layer that is KNOWN to mess with AE? I have 17GB allocated to AE, and cleared all the chaches and stuff. -Lachlan Quiet Earth Design +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to
