Of course the rule of thumb is: the more elments, the more the program slows down. Usually this isn't a problem if your machine is strong enough, I only experience this at about 100+ layers heavy with big images. At one point AS can't play everything in preview in real time, that's normal behaviour...

I have a project that is about 1300 frames. Not long. At frame 800 I added a few more layers and now the entire animation is choppy and lacking it's smoothness. The controls have slowed as well and I am fighting the machine. Is this a processing issue with the computer's available memory? I even spl...

Hey, it worked! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will give this a try!

When I use the translate layer tool it affects every bit of my animation. How do I select what I want translated and leave the rest unaffected? For example, I have a dog walking across to the center of the staging area, he stops, lifts his head, and then wags his tail. Then I want him to continue tr...
