What are you going to use it for? Does it need to be SD or HD? What type of lighting will you be using? Are you looking for some type of consumer model? Without knowing any of the above; look for something with the largest image sensor you can afford.

I think it is only in the pro version.
Effect > Distort > Mesh warp

I get this same problem. The only way I seem to be able to get around it, is to separate the layers by more than one pixel. I have tried to use different advanced 3-D setting without much help. I have also noticed the problem does not show up when I am working in less than full resolution. The problem becomes visible when I set the comp to full res. I will be watching this thread to see what the answer is.

You didn’t waste my time. I thought it was great.

The PC you have listed is fine. There are better systems, but what you show should do a decent job. Was your old system faster???? It sounds like you may new to AE. Slow RAM previews are expected, depending on the affects used. AE won’t be as fast as any NLE you may have been using.

You will need to turn the layer into a 3D layer. Click on the box for the layer that is in the column with a 3D looking box. That will make your layer 3D.
Now just set keyframes for the type of rotation you want. If I understand you right, you will want to rotate around the y axis. Set a start keyframe, then move down the timeline a few seconds and rotate the object. It might be easiest if you just play with the settings to see how it works. The second keyframe with drop in automatically. There will be a point where the flat object is invisible since the object will not have any real depth.

Ah….I didn’t see that he wanted the picture to remain straight.

CC Cylinder will work if you just put alpha space on each side of the picture in the original PSD document. Then use multiple instances of that layer, use CC Cylinder’s rotation to space the pictures out. It was a while back when I made a group of photos circle in exactly the same manner the original poster is looking for. It was a while back when I did this, maybe I used a wider precomp instead.
