Your second circle is where After Effects looks for your track, so it doesn’t have to scan the entire image every frame. Make your second box bigger, so After Effects has a larger search radius frame-to-frame. That should do it.

Isn’t that backwards? I would think a primary grade would be more of an overall grade scene to scene, and then going in with secondary grades to fix/tweak things would make more sense on a shot-to-shot basis.

Pressing ‘s’ turns off snapping in Premiere.

Scopes and histogram achieve pretty different things– it’s hard to get a feel of the overall image using scopes. Where is the histogram in levels?

And I just bought the 3D extrude script from AE scripts. Oh well. Extrusions and ray tracing makes me happy.
I could have sworn that CS5 said it was going to have variable-width feather mask… or was that just me?

Try turning on continuous rasterization?

Precompose it, drop it into a 2K comp, then animate the position.

I would think that having the spaceship auto-orient towards the camera could probably produce an effect that is desirable without the headache of learning Blender. It’d still be a flat plane, but if it’s not rotating about the Y axis, it’ll be a flat plane that faces the camera yet orbits using the 3D coordinates, but we won’t know it’s flat.
But Erik’s right, there’s no easy way to add an affect to make a 2D object into a full 3D object. I recommend going to the Google 3D warehouse, finding a spaceship someone else has made, downloading it, opening it in Google Sketchup, downloading the .obj exporter plugin for Sketchup, saving it as a .obj, opening it in Photoshop, saving it as a .psd, and then opening the psd in Photoshop. Straightforward, right? 🙂
