Use the wiggle expression. It’s more flexible.
Google “expressing your wiggle” for a little project I did on wiggling.

What’s your budget?

By the way, the 30″ Cinema Display is rather warm. I’d keep a fan nearby for personal comfort, since it can get up to 80+ degreesF near the monitor. Which happens to be where I sit.

The layer to which CC Sphere is applied should be 2×1 in proportion, say: 1000×500, 960×480, and so on. That entire space should be filled.

Did you search the COW for “ribbon”?

Off the top of my head … you could take a photo of an ice surface and place a text layer over that. Apply perspective>bevel alpha to the text, then apply a non-normal transfer mode to the text layer so it affects the ice surface. Cycle through the modes with the + and – keys at the top of the keyboard.
To get the text to carve on, you have to draw masks on another layer that follow the text, as if you were writing it on. (a T would be two masks – horizontal and vertical) You would then apply effect>generate>stroke and animate the end point of the stroke (“all masks”) to make it write on. This layer would be used as a track matte over the text layer.
You might then add little bits of particles (ice spray) at the point where each leter starts, ends, or where each stroke ends. That could be a lot of work though. Make one little emission (ice spray) and render it on its own, then place it in various places on the screen.
Anybody else?

Check the sticky post at the top of the AE COW forum.

Search the COW for “burn”. This topic comes up every now and then.

You need to find an application that will open AVCHD files. That is your limitation.
Try Vegas or Quicktime Pro.
That camera is not a professional camera, and the codec is not a professional codec for editing, effects or compositing. Expect some difficulties in post like this.

We’re running out of options here (duh). I can only suggest that you look at differences between the machines, and maybe see if there is an app running in the background that is causing trouble. Such as the evil Norton Utilities.
Other than that, I’m stumped. Sorry.
