Greetings from the future’s future!
To emulate the “Showtime type-on look” (new letters popping up in the center of the line, then tracking out), use the AE default “typewriter effect”, then just animate your anchor point. Works with slanted text too (using the Distort > Transform effect).

Bump!
I’m having the same issues as well. It seems to happen when the focus distance passes the zoom distance.

Anyone find an answer to this? My odometer won’t stop otherwise!

Well, dodged the bullet and talked the client out of this one. The solution I went with is just precomping the soundkeys scope, then alpha-matting a blue grid on top. At the beginning and end of the music, I just adjusted the blue to white for all the bars (a fraction of a second each).

Yes, not only would the top bar turn white and remain white while the other blue bars dropped, but ideally that white bar would decend slowly until the blue bar pops up again, at which point the decended white bar would dissapear, and a new white one would appear at the peak again.
I know it\’s a tall order, and I\’d be happy with the peaked white bar to remain at the top until the blue bars peaked again.
I don\’t think sound keys can do this, because it just sends a trigger at a specific height, and doesn\’t have an understand of \”maximum\” height.

I started getting audio/video sync issues on my newly built XP64 (AE CS3) box. I’m very proficient in AE, and tried all the usual culprits (restarting, updating AE, updating a/v drivers, preference tweaking). I started to think it was an XP64 issue. But it turns out is was a memory problem. 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 memory caused sync problems, but 4 sticks of 1GB DDR3 memory did not!
Of course, the whole reason I’m XP64 is to use 8GB of memory, but when a deadline is looming, a functioning AE is better than no AE!
