Cinema doesn’t support mp3 format. You’ll have to converted it to a .wav file.

Clone matrix object particles onto the sphere (object mode) and then use an inheritance effector (check the “morph motion object” box) to move your clones onto the matrix object.
Set the same count for the cloner and matrix object.

Startup layout just defines the default layout that Cinema opens with.

If you click on the top icon in the left-side toolbar, the layout presets will open in a flyout menu. If you select “Standard” it should get you back to square one.
Once you get things set up the way you like you should run Window>Layout>Save as Startup Layout. Of course you can save as many layouts as you like.
One thing that you *can’t* fix, AFAIK, at least on Windows, is Cinema starting up a dual-monitor layout on one monitor … so I always have to maximize Cinema after opening. Not a big deal but annoying.

Yes, but you have to set up object buffers. What you do is give each object you want separated a compositing tag and then check one of the boxes in the object buffer tab.
Then add the corresponding object buffer passes in the render>multipass settings.
In AE, use the buffer passes as track mattes to separate the objects.

No problem — I don’t know why the options aren’t present in polygon mode. Doesn’t seem logical to me.

Can’t be done with the standard emitter, but if you have Thinking Particles there is a spline emitter preset in the content browser. Or if you have MoGraph you can use it to generate TP particles on a spline by way of the Matrix Object.

Ok, I’m guessing that you’re trying to bevel in polygon mode rather than edge mode. Switch to edge mode, select the edges you want to bevel, and all the options should be there.

It hasn’t changed. Look in the attributes manager, Options tab, “Type”. Default is linear but there’s a drop down menu with the concave and convex options.

You can save yourself some time by making the cube editable, selecting a side, and then dragging a material onto the cube. Cinema will automatically set up a selection tag and assign the material to it.
