Nothing in AE will help you. Try the Soundbooth/Audition forum.

What codec is being used on your incoming footage? If it’s HDV or h.264 than that could easily be your problem. Search for “Dave’s Stock Answer” for a longer explanation and there have been a lot of questions similar to this try searching for “gamma shift” or something similar.

I pretty much agree with Jon. I’ve heard the Adobe guys say that you want at least 2 gigs of RAM per core of your processor. So 4 gigs is way too little, IMHO. You want the best processor you can afford and enough RAM to make it work well.

It depends on the specs of the tv station. Is it HD or SD? Are you in Europe, the States or somewhere else? We need more information before we can give you any help.

Agreed. The most bizarre solution I’ve ever heard (that worked).

From Dave LaRonde:
Dave’s Stock Answer #1:If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following — Native HDV, any flavor of MPEG, mp4, avchd, m2t, mts, H.261 or H.264 — you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.

H.264 is your problem.

In the motion tracker, (before you apply the track) change the target to your shape layer.

Also,
Hitting . on the numeric keypad will always only give you audio. Hit 0 on the numeric keypad if you want video and audio.– The Great Szalam
