If you have 3D Invigorator Pro 4.0 this tutorials should give you some ideas:

That’s correct. I don’t know if you have any other choice though.

These are called “Roving” keyframes and are only available for spatial properties such as position. To convert a keyframe that’s “locked to time” to a roving keyframe, twirl down the arrow for the position property and uncheck the radio box under the keyframe in the timeline or select the keyframe and from the Animation menu choose Keyframe Interpolation, you’ll see the third option concerns roving. Keep in mind that the first and last keyframes cannot rove.

How about leaving the solid layer turned on but making either the its Opacity or Mask Opacity 0%?

That’s what I’m saying. You can RAM Preview them but they can’t be rendered. You can’t save the RAM Preview either.

You can’t render out custom views, only the active camera view. You’ll need to create a camera and reposition it to emulate the custom view, then render out the active camera view.

Try using one of the custom views. If you then select the Camera tracking tool (C) you can drag in that view to bring your scene into the centre of the comp (Try the orbit and pan tools as well). This doesn’t affect the camera’s position, it’s a feature to help you navigate your 3D scene. It also helps to have more than one window for your comp, if you Option (Alt) drag on the tab for your comp you’ll create a duplicate window. I find it helps to have one view as my active camera view and one as a custom view (or different view depending on what it is I’m doing).

All of the distortion effects, including Corner Pin are in the Distort section of the Effects menu. Bezier Warp may also be useful for what you are talking about. Check the Help Menu (F1) also.

You could also try CC Power Pin. The Transform effect also has a Skew parameter. And how about just making the layer 3D and changing it’s perspective that way?

After Effects has a variety of distort effects. You might like to try the Liquify effect which is based on the Photoshop version.
