I smell CC Ball Action. Ships with 6.5.

Select the layer and hit the U key. If the properties disappear, hit it again.
UU (quickly) will show all properties that have been changed — not just the keyframed properties.

Currently, AE’s OpenGL implementation is not very good. It doesn’t work nearly as well as OpenGL in a real 3D app, and many users turn it off to avoid errors.
In short, don’t waste your money on a non-out-of-the-box graphics card (for AE) until the next rev of AE comes out.
And nobody knows when that will be (or is under NDA), so please don’t ask. 🙂
However, if you expect to run Apple’s Motion, get the ATI X800 or better. It actually uses OpenGL well with Motion, apparently. But don’t install the card’s new ROM upgrade if you have a dual 2.5 — according to the web, it’ll make your computer unuseable. Can’t speak for the 2.7.

It’s hard to tell at that size, Dario.
The final ender out of AE must be at the DV preset: 720×480, non-square, 29.97 (for NTSC, anyway). The render comp must be a DV preset comp.
What you do with the wrong stuff depends on what you’ve already done. If the C4D was 720×480 square, then you stretched the DV clip wider to fit into a 720×480 square comp, then they’re both wrong by the same amount. You should be able to drop that composite into a DV preset (non-square) comp, squeeze in the sides, and render.
Hope that helps,

You shouldn’t have rendered the C4D images 1 to 1 PAR. They should have been .9.
(Now … technically, DV is 10/11, not 9/10 (source: Meyer CMG v.2), even though AE tags it at 9/10. If you render from C4D at .9 and it still looks off, try rendering at 10/11. AE will probably interpret it at .9, but your goal is to match the DV, so maybe rendering C4D at 10/11 is right. (.90909))
If you can’t re-render the C4D, you’ll have to interpret it as 720×480 square pix in AE. Drop it into a DV preset comp for compositing and rendering. It will be too wide for your DV comp, and you’ll have to live with chopping off the side edges of the C4D shot, but it will be in correct proportion.

Go to https://www.buena.com and download their effect essentials demo. The Camera Flash effect is free.
Of course, there are other ways to make that effect.
