Wouldn’t it also be possible to pre-comp and use the Time Remap to stop it? Any drawbacks there?
I could see using some Force Motion Blur to get a sweet speed stop.

Sounds like your camera whips behind the background or your background has some weird move on it. Select the layer and press U to reveal all the keyframes. Also try taking a look at it from top view.

I’ve uploaded this “recipe.”

You’ll need some plugins and AE7. -
Andrew Friggin’ Kramer did this
If you have particular, use the technique up there. It wouldn’t be a “line” it’d be so many circles so close together that it would look like a line.
If you don’t have Particular, peep this:
1. Draw a mask on Layer 1, click on the Mask Shape property, copy to the clipboard.
2. Make a Layer 2. Create a new solid the size of your dot (30×30). Double click the Eliptical mask tool (this masks out a circle).
3. Press P. SELECT the position property (by clicking on it). Paste the mask to the position property. You should see two keyframes and a bunch of roving keys in between them. Your dot should now animate along the mask shape. Hold down option while you drag the later keyframe to expand the animation (to make it slower or faster).
4. Go back to Layer 1, apply 3D Stroke. Animate the end from 0 to 100 at the same keyframes as the position for your ball.

Use Keylight.

It sounds like you’re “clicking-off” when you select the top-view window.
If you click on a selected layer does this still happen? What about with SHIFT?
I actually can’t understand why you’d even have to select the top-view window. Just grab the selected layers and pull them around.

I think you know that the answer would be to scale your HDV down and letterbox it. If this demo is for the web, the loss of resolution and frame size won’t be so much of an issue.

Haha! Dave LaRonde, you slay me!

Sorry, I meant to say:
“American Night?! How racist! :P”
Happy?
