Do you really have to track the sky?
Can´t you track other parts of the scene, foreground or the sea even (mocha should do it?) and adjust the position to make up for some paralax if need be? -
Luckily Physalia Studio in Barcelona are working on their guerrilla motion control rig. I don’t believe you will be able to do as advanced moves as the Chop Suey ones, but still, looks exciting!!!
Check it out:

yeah, you could set up a few screens, use repetile or motiontile with a together with a trackmatte. I think motion tile will link together well with the scale of the trackmatte.
With that kind of scale you ought to use that exponential scale as well. -
Odd, I´d go for doing several renders turning off layers to see where things start going wrong, starting with the MPEG video, as that is a compressed format causing problems in AE.. Dave LaRonde knows about that.
The MPEG solution is converting it to a different format before using in AeFx.

or particular with a custom particle. Looks like it as later on there’s a spiral shape of these triangles which seems to be lit and self shadow.

For the bounce use the Inertial bounce expression as Roland R. Kahlenberg said.
For the pearls CC Sphere. Precompose the animation and apply the sphere effect. Use the bounce expression in the z rotation of the effect.In this animation the Spheres are 3d layers.

Would be interesting to see the project file. 3d can be quite complicated and from what your saying, I suppose you have precomposed 3d layers, with the collapse transform on. Maybe the objects are in different 3d spaces?
Maybe this page has some solution?

If you could be a bit more specific I’m sure some one can get you on the right track.
Do you want it to grown from below up like a pillar or falling from above to make up a heap etc.? -
Don’t forget that CCow does have a forum dedicated to trapcode products!

Another way would be using an expression> alt click the stopwatch for position and write in the field
[value[0],460]the first part value[0] means it will use the value of the 1st dimension, and the second part will be the Y value, in this case 460. Change this to the value you want. In this case the object will be locked in Y at 460 pixels while you can move it in X
I occasionally use this for locking a layer in postion, writing its center position. That way I won’t accidently move it while I can still change its opacity or scale.
