Try changing this line:
if (track.valueAtTime(i)[1]<=pos[1]){
to a couple of lines:
t = framesToTime(i);
if (track.valueAtTime(t)[1]<=pos[1]){New/changed code is in bold.

I can’t reproduce your problem. If you can share a short test shot that is having this issue along with the AEP I might be able to give more specific advice.

Caps Lock disables rendering in the composition viewer. Alternatively you could disable Live Update (which I personally don’t recommend, it feels sluggish). Or try holding down option/alt while you “move around” which should temporarily disable Live Update until you release the mouse or the modifier key (opt/alt).

[Johnny Opamo] “echo effects”
Tell me more 🙂
If you’re actually using more than one echo effect that could definitely be causing trouble.

[tom edwards] “when i right click on the 3d cam track target, it automatically inserts the word “text.” so i’m not sure what you mean by “set it to point text.””
There are 2 different modes for text layers, Point Text and Paragraph Text. You can switch between these two modes by right clicking on the text in the viewer with the text tool and choosing “Convert to [Paragraph/Point] Text” in the context menu.
With Paragraph Text the anchor point’s default location can be arbitrary relative to the bounding box of the paragraph. That could be one reason that your text is off screen. Changing the text layer to point text may solve this.
As I think about this, the more likely culprits may be your text layer’s parameters in the Character and Paragraph panels. Make sure that the baseline shift property is set to 0 in the Character panel and the indent properties in the Paragraph panel are all set to 0. One quick way to do this would be to use “Reset Character” and “Reset Paragraph” in the options drop downs of the panels.

[Matthew Dublin] “No matter what I do, I cannot access Interpret Footage, it’s always greyed out.”
How are you attempting to access the Interpret Footage dialog?
You need to have the footage item selected in the Project Panel in order to access Interpret Footage. I recommend selecting the item there and using the right click context menu or cmd-opt-g to get to the interpret footage dialog.

Convert your text to point text (if it isn’t already) and set its anchor point property to [0,0].

Can you give a more detailed description of what’s going on in the comp you’re rendering? Are you using any effects? What is the source footage? What resolution is the source footage and composition? Are there any footage items other than the rotoscoped sequence?

[Bonn King] “I’ve tried cloning and replacing the background with a Photoshopped image but the problem is that the camera tilts down and then the tracking gets messed up and also the actress passes in front of the reflections I want removed.”
Generating a clean plate of the background is a good first step.
How are you currently tracking the clean plate into the shot?
As for the actress passing in front of the reflections that will require rotoscoping of one variety or another.

[Todd Kopriva] “Encore, which is usually used for DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, also creates content that runs in Flash Player, so you can get the same interactivity on a website.”
Neat, you learn something new every day 🙂
