It's not helpful to render out a QT movie that doesn't show up. And I don't know what you mean by "simple shapes". 500 shape layer paths with 4 anchor points each still makes for 20000 anchor points to calculate. That would be taxing on any computer. Obviously there would be a lot more stress if there would be more complex artwork. Anyway, you have to provide soem usable screenshots or explain better.
