It’s a sign of a badly written effect plug-in. Effect plug-ins check layer content out to work on and then check it back in when it has been processed. “Unbalanced layer checkouts” indicates that this is not being done correctly.
I’m going to guess that it’s a third-party effect plug-in, but certainly let us know if you find that it’s one of ours.

Are you using After Effects CC (12.1)? If so, you could use the property links feature to create one master Curves effect, copy it with property links, and paste instances onto the various precompositions. Or, very similarly, you could put the Curves effect on an adjustment layer, copy the entire adjustment layer with property links, and then paste instances of that adjustment layer inside your precompositions.

What work would you need to redo in After Effects if you started in Premiere Pro? Have you tried opening a Premiere Pro project in After Effects? For example, After Effects preserves keyframes set in the Motion effect in Premiere Pro.

Are you really getting a message that says that your disk cache is full, or are you getting message that says that there’s not enough room on your disk for the size of disk cache that you’ve allocated? I’m guessing that it’s the latter, in which case After Effects is just telling you that there is a mismatch between how much disk you’ve told it to use and how much room there actually is on the disk. You can dismiss this message; it’s just warning you that you don’t actually have the room that you thought that you did when you set the cache size.

Personally, I’d just try using the Clone Stamp frame by frame. It’s only a few seconds, so not even 200 frames, I’d say. At a few seconds per frame of painting, you could probably knock this out in one Phish song.

It means what it says.
When you create a layer based on a .c4d footage item, that layer must be the composition size. If you want to modify and animate things in the .c4d scene, then you use the controls in the Cineware effect and you use Edit Original to open the .c4d scene in Cinema 4D.
Don’t just jump into trying to use this without going through the basic learning materials first:
