I just found the solution: it was easy, I collapsed the transformation of the precomps and it seems to work!

OK, I’LL POST A SCREENSHOT SOON, NOW I’M RENDERING (NOTICE THE CAPS LOCK :D)
I PUT THE ADJUSTMENT LAYER UNDER THE LAYERS BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THOSE LAYERS TO BE AFFECTED. I WANT THAT THE PRECOMP IN WICH THE ADJ LAYERS IS INSIDE TO AFFECT THE LAYERS BELOW IT.
IT’S LIKE I HAVE ONE LAYER IN POSITION 2 AND THE PRECOMP IN POSITION 1, THE LAST LAYER OF THE PRECOMP IS THE ADJ, AND IT SHOULD AFFECT THE LAYER IN POSITION 2.

mac pro quad core 2.4ghz with 32Gb RAM. Quite different systems. I really don’t know what to do with this problem!
I think I’ll try to format it and reinstall AfterEffects as first software then install other software and test compatibility with AE at every installation.
Gosh…

thank you, i’m gonna try right now.
I worked on quite big compositions but i have the same problem also on a 720×28
It seems to me that is some kind of codec problem.
If i work with the caps lock on so that i can’t see the videos, After Effects works perfectly.
It only crashes in processes that involves video visualization or manipulation.
For example: if I scale a layer with the caps lock OFF it crashes; caps lock ON no crash.
Move layers with CL OFF -> crash; CL ON -> no crash.

what can it be? I have quicktime 7.5, not the notoriusly bugged 7.4.
Maybe I have to uninstall all the softwares like MPEGStreamclip, Cleaner XL or stuff like this?
Ty guys

Not quite a cylinder, because the cylinder is kind of 3D.
I’m looking for a simpler effect: imagine to have a 1230x80px image and bend the right and left edge down until they collide.
It’s like a 2D donut viewed from above.

Hi,
try something like this

the feeling is something like lasers but in my opinion is much much better

Ok, I’m doing the trick by doing multiple expression from a comp to another. I’ll post the solution once it’s finished and clean, now it still has some points to be defined better.

oh thank you, you confirmed my suspect that i need as many copies of the movie as frames it’s composed.
The scaling doesn’t need to be animated, it’s a standard parameter. I mean, if i have a PAL 720×576 composition and a PAL 720×576 footage i need to scale it because i need to see more than one frame per time.
Are there some examples of expressions involving time remap and freeze frame?

thank you again
