make your layers 3d... click the tiny little 3d cube icon right of the layer names

ok, real quick;
the AE camera isn't a true 3D environment, it's more 2.5D. It by default treats each layer as a floating flat card in space that the camera can move around and can rotate. However, many plugins, particular etc, have real 3D systems embedded inside them that interact with the AE camera as you'd expect a true '3d shape' to behave. All other native AE layers will just be flat planes.

your trapcode form layer effect needs to be in the same comp as the camera. not in a precomp.
alternatively, you can create a new camera inside the precomp and use expressions to link it to your main camera.

What template is this, by the way?

Thanks for the help.
Eflicks, do I just parent the camera within the Form Comp to the main comp?
Also I noticed my audio is a little distorted then drops in volume between 10-20 seconds (depending on how much I render), but dont see any effects or anything.

This helped picking from other comps...
