Not enough information and too many possibilities. Try turning off the effect. Render using a different codec. Precompose the layer and apply the CC filters to that. Any other filters do the same thing or is this more of a display issue?
There is nothing in CC Light Burst (or just about any other filter) that will, by itself, cause the layer to which it has been applied, to move around. So start looking for user issues.

The application, routine and media you adopt are secondary to determining what your exposure is; what are you protecting yourself againt? You can research best practices and various options for backing up easily on the Net, It’s something the IT industry has bene doing for decades. You pick your methodology based on what you need to accomplish in a worst case scenario.
Backups are worthless if they’re stored in the same physical location as your work computer.
Anything that can take out your computer (fire, tornado, theft, flood) will take out your backups, too. Thieves know all about peripherals these days; they will take your stacks of drives so your attached RAID is not a viable backup location.

You can search the forum for the subject, plenty of discussion. All depends on your source video material and how the captions are encoded onto it, how you get it into FCP, what you do with it once it’s there and how you get it back out.
If you render anything the caption data gets stripped off.

You will want to talk directly to the card mfr.
On my new Intel Macs, Open GL (in the newer, optimized SLI-powered cards) is actually slower than on the old G5s.
My experience is OpenGL is all about compromises and confusion. As consumers, we think it should work as advertised, silly fools.

In the olden days, we simulated cylinders 12 or more vertical layers as the sides. Precomp. Like building a cube, much more complicated placement and angular joints. Digital Anarchy has a plug that automatically builds such things for you. Not cheap.
You can also look at the Ring Of Cows tutorial here and adapt that to building cylindrical shapes.However, what you want to do is not practical in AE, at least, not without huge amounts of experience, patience and some third party plugins.

I have been working with 3d projects, bouncing between Macintosh and Windows versions of AE7 for several months without any issues at all. So there’s hope if, indeed, you are the direct cause. If you were to update, the issues _might_ go away. Expensive gamble, true.

Easier to just use CC Force Motion Blur. I think it’s a time effect.

Explore null objects and parenting the camera to the null. You place the null where you want the camera to look and where you want the camera to be in space.
Also, get yourself a copy of Angie Taylor’s AE7 book.bogiesan

3d is no place to start your After Effects career. It’s REALLY hard and it takes, no kidding, about 9 times as ong to preview and 27 times as long to render.
try theanvel.com for a nice collection of 3d lighting tutorials that will help you with your camear moves. You do NOT want to zoom a 3d camera, you want to move it.

You might get better responses in a Vue 6 forum. I’ve deceived myself into thinking I am fairly hip but I’ve never heard of Vue 6; what is it?
> In the serttings under “Render what?” I enabled G-Buffer + Multi-Pass => under “Render Destination” => render to disk => psd< These sound like compression settings to create MPEG2. all you need is the PSD or a TIFF out of this Vue 6 thing of yours. Never heard of a multipass PSD export. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
