Discuss the same technique in this thread. Also there are some links to plugins and a couple example projects on how to do that.

Red Giant has a product Trapcode Soundkeys, that you might want to check out—They have a demo version.

Another method you could use would be to add an expression(compliments Chris Wright) to your position and a null controller to adjust the speed. You could use this expression, just create a null and name it “Control” and give it a slider control effect. You can set up the spacing between layers either by offsetting the layer in Points, or by their initial position.
// Throw (move at a constant speed without keyframes)
veloc = thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Slider Control")("Slider"); //horizontal velocity (pixels per second)
x = position[0] + (time - inPoint) *veloc;
y = position[1];
[x,y]Benefit of doing it this way, is if you decide you want to change speeds, you don’t have to change any keyframes, just the slider value.

Try the Expressions Forum, some of the regular contributors there are familiar with scripting.

You can go to your preferences > general and switch off “Create Layers at Composition Start Time”, use whatever shortcut you need to move the CTI to the end of your layer and then add the next layer.

That looks like the PAL-DV PAR, but AE seems to be using a 1.09 PAR instead of 1.067. I’d imagine you’d be fine using that preset, but perhaps you might want to talk to one of their engineers.

Try purging your cache, then re-preview. I find the the new updated Ram cache system, works great, but has some quirkiness to it.
