Hi there,
Im using CS3 AE and havng trouble wth rendering movie clips I've imported.
When I import the movie I then put effects on it such as color key to make the background transparent.
The movie plays through out the timeline no problem and it renders okay.
However. After working on the file by adding a couple of more movie clips, the movies then freeze up and dont play back on the time line or in the final render.
Ive tried to delete and re-import the movie clips (which work fine in QT) and that still doesnt help.
(The movies clips are movies that have been rendered already in AE.)

This kind of dilemma is showing up more and more frequently these days, and it is almost always due to type of file imported into AE. If your files are any of the following:
• Native HDV
• Mpeg2
• Mp4
• H.264
You need to convert them into something else. The compression in these files results in many frames that contain incomplete picture information. AE wants complete picture information for each and every frame.
What you convert them to depends on your platform (mac/win).
