Short answer: start with C4D Lite Mylenium covered most of it but what you're asking about is delvig deep into 3d image craft. There's many ways to do what you're after and a lot of that knowledge overlaps in multiple programs. Start playing with what you have for free as a means of learning and make an educated decision when you hit the limitations of it.

that looks like some artifacting from some pretty extreme sharpening. you may consider backing off on the sharpening some. also consider playing with different sharpening filters. things like unsharp mask or a high pass overlay layer could work for you too.

then you're all good. I do most of my work on the previous version which maxed out at 16Gb. it's not ideal for heavy comping or 3d production but for the vast majority of 2d animation it's fine.

The documentation is worded in a confusing way. What it should say is "You can download live data and pipe it into AE using one of the accepted input formats." currently it needs to be a file AE can access directly. actually pulling from a live url would make a great feature request

Make a null and place it in the point you want to rotate around. Parent the layer doing the orbiting to that null. Rotate the null.

1998 x 1080 is a weird size. What's your pixel aspect ratio? If it's anything other than 1 youay just be seeing stretching artifacts.

go into your system preferences and under Display prefs change to a scaled resolution and make the value something different than what you have currently. I run into this from time to time and somehow this fixes it for me.

- how do you confirm or relink the offline/ raw footage? I can relink in Resolve, but how do I bring that conformed timeline into AE ? Going from premiere to AE is easy. As I mentioned I don't like dynamic link but I do like the old right click and "Replace with After Effects Composition" to send clips to an AE timeline. I'll move all my plate clips to their own track, then duplicate them to the track above and THEN send to AE so I retain the edits. once I have the AE timeline I delete the dynamic linked ae comp in Pr. For the sake of keeping things organized I'll use something like rd:Pre-Compose to put each shot into it's own comp with handles and then AE Global Renamer to give things like sequence numbers to keep my project organized. 2. What do you suggest for Speeded up/ Twixtored shots ? Using this method you don't have to worry because Pr will pass the retiming to AE. if you used twixtor and installed it for Pr and AE the footage will have the Twixtor effects settings applied. you can also just copy a clip in Pr and paste into an AE timeline for the same process.

TL;DR Premiere is your base of operations and final output. Don't trust dynamic link. Personally, when I do short commercial spots I work by making proxies with a burnt in lut and edit with them linked to the raw source in Premiere. Once I have edit locked I do my comp in AE on the raw (flat) footage using an adjustment layer set to a guide layer and the same burnt in LUT (via the lumetru lut input) as the top layer of each comp. This is my sanity check so I can view the work pre and post temp grade. Then I render out to a lossless format and put those shots back into my Premiere timeline on a track above my locked edit. I strongly discourage the use of dynamic link if you're likely to do many versions of each shot or are going to be working with computational heavy AE comps. It never works as expected. Last step is to do color. Lately I prefer resolve so I duplicate my locked timeline with the final vfx shots and add something like "_toColor" to it. I delete everything except the final shots that need color (and non VFX shots that need color) and clean up the timeline so it's only 2 video tracks at most and every shot is trimmed to only the frames seen in the spot. Then export an xml and import that into resolve. Do color to it. After color I export individual shots with handles and an xml from resolve to rebuild in Premiere and drop in the final audio.

Not much you can fix. Depending on some settings (motion blur for instance) and how long the scene is it might take a while to cache a preview. Once those frames are cached, however, the final render is just compiling those cached frames for the into a final export file. At that point, since you've already sat through the hard work of caching, the render would be super fast.

The expressions output becomes your value for that property so if all you want is slider control you could do something like this on the size property: x = thisComp.layer("Size_Controller").effect("Size-X")("Slider"); y = thisComp.layer("Size_Controller").effect("Size-Y")("Slider"); [x,y] If you want to use the initial value of the rectangle size as a starting point and treat the sliders as offest values you would change the last line to: value+[x,y]

You can also apply the Turbulent Displacement effect to a shape layer to make it not perfect. Also blur it to soften the edges.

Rick gave a much more though answer, but I do see anything in the list of things you're trying to do that would require you to need After Effects at all. In fact, overall, your life will probably be much simpler and you'll be able to work faster in Premiere whole doing your audio finishing in Audition.

Not sure about windows but on Mac what happens on occasion is that where you use AERendercore for command line rendering, sometimes the processes don't terminate when the render job is over and you have to go in and kill them all manually or write your own script to do this for you.

first off I see you're working in an older version of After Effects. This leads me to believe that you may also be working in an older version of premiere which has had issues with deleting project files in the past. Any chance you're also working on this music video in Pr 11.1?

Plugins installed in the mediacore folder should carry over. Plugins in the Application folder can be copied and pasted between major releases. If it's a patch update the installer shouldn't touch 3rd party files.

Try the h264 present Match Source (high bitrate) and see if you get better results. Also, what is the source resolution of the comp?

There's a bunch of different ways you could approach this. I've done similar work in the past using shape layers with black and white gradients. I'd then apply the tint or tricolor effects too them to control the colors for each layer. you can also layer feathered masks onto the shape layers to control soft vs sharp edges. after that, you could try playing with blend modes to find what you're looking for. though based on the sample you posted I'd stick to normal blending and just blur the heck out of everything.

Animation is a lossless codec. The quality slider is greyed out because it wouldn't do anything with the chosen codec.

can you be more specific about the details of the network you're using? is it just machine to machine or are you using a shared storage device? if so what's the storage? small office or corporate environment (can you fix it yourself)?

Best place to put suggestions for AE is on their User Voice forum. that way others can vote on them. as for your suggestions #1 already exists. you'll be alerted to X# of missing files when AE can't find them. #2 is sort of there in that if you reconnect 1 file and all the other missing files were moved to a similar path AE is pretty good about finding them. as for #3 this was actively removed from AE a few versions ago. if you want to export directly from AE to an h264 file you can do so via Adobe Media Encoder.

you want the "offset" effect. just apply it to the layer with the door and mess with the x value.

The best tip I could offer would be to play with the "Particle Type" setting and use the Textured shapes at the bottom. then you can find stills of dust/clouds/paint chips/etc. that look kinda like what you're after as particles themselves. If you're feeling really crazy you could make a precomp with lots of different layered fractal noise effects to try and get the cloudy look you're after and use THAT as your particle texture.
