Bill is right; if your output format is an Amber trajectory, you need
a corresponding Amber topology file in order to view it correctly. I'm
not sure if it's currently possible to generate a topology with only
CA atoms, but this is what you would need.

If you really need to visualize this I think the only option (although
certainly not very practical or convenient considering the number of
frames you are generating) would be to output the structures as PDB
files.

In my experience with DNA centering on the first strand, imaging, then
centering on both strands and imaging again works. This should be done
separate from any RMS fitting since that will change around the
coords.
