Re: Extremely slow loading projects

[Chris Blair] "We use VelocityQ and typically use .dps files on timelines as well as photoshop comps, and possibly .tga, .jpg or .tif files...and occasionally a quicktime shot from a stock library. "

I'd say it's the footage you're using. Instead of those VelocityQ and dps files, change them to something more generic, like uncompressed AVIs.

I'd start with the dps files. If memory serves me well, that's a file extension for DIVX, and as a former host on this forum used to say, "DIVX is evil." The reason: they've done so darned much tweaking and adjusting to DIVX that it can be hard to keep up with the changes. Besides, DIVX is more of a delivery file than an intermediate file, which is the best thing to use in AE.

If you've got those DIVX files in a higher-quality form, you'll definitely see an improvement in the quality of your AE renders, and it just might solve your slow load times.

But don't overlook those VelocityQ files, either. If they need hardware (a card) to read them, they may not run on machines without the corresponding software codec.
