I’m a Softimage user too, but not a guru. First, in what format are you rendering out the movie file? I have found that Softimage prefers image sequences or AVIs but not Quicktime movies. Try rendering out a PNG sequence with a straight alpha from AE. You can extract the alpha with a channel picker node in Softimage.

Uncheck “Enable OpenGL”Is it only happening in one comp or does it still happen even if you create a new comp? How about in a new project?
Try trashing your preferences file too.

You have the stroke turned on for your text layer. Open the character palette and turn off the stroke.
-
Yeah, that’s pretty vague. What effects do you have applied to the adjustment layer?
-
The radio waves effect generates the waves on a transparent background, much like a particle effect. You just need to either add another white solid under the layer that has the radio waves effect – OR – add the Solid Composite effect to the radio waves layer AFTER the radio waves effect in the stack.

It’s because you are using “full-screen” when you RAM preview. Not that you’re doing anything wrong, but I confirmed on my machine that it does the same thing if I preview full-screen. I’ve never used full-screen mode for previews so I never noticed it before but this appears to be a bug. What version of AE are you using? I would suggest reporting it as a bug at the link below so they will hopefully get it fixed if it isn’t already.

Yeah, the timeline zoom level doesn’t change on its own. Could you walk us through the steps you are taking to preview?

Also, if you have Mocha for AE, it does a great job of tracking masks, although it does take a while to learn how to use it. There are plenty of tutorials on their website, the cow, and elsewhere.

At the bottom of the composition window, check that the resolution is set to “full” and the size is set to 100%.

You bet. Very true, Mocha can do a nice job matching perspective changes and can do it pretty quickly once you get the hang of it.
