Sounds like keylight is the solution to use for this particular shot! Glad you got it to work.

If you want slo-mo you need to shoot at the highest frame rate possible — so if 60 is the highest you have, then 60 is what you should take….
If you’re editing at 24fps, then you will be able to slow your footage down to about 40% of real-time, all the while having a specific image to provide for each frame of the movie.
If you learn how to use Timewarp, you could slow down your video to 20% of real time (the filter would morph/generate every other frame). For some shots, you can slow it down even more, but the slower you get, the more Timewarp needs to be customized and tweaked to produce satisfactory results….

If your colors are too rich, the MPEG encoding for the DVD won’t look good. In my experience, this is especially the case with reds, blues, and purples. At any rate, all you need to do is drop the saturation and it should be fine.
But you seem to know your stuff, and that seems pretty obvious… are you looking for a more involved solution?

If you hover your mouse over the problematic colors and look at your info window, I bet you’ll see “nan” instead of a number. This is a mathematical issue, where “nan” stands for “Not a Number.” It’s something that pops up every once in a while when you’re working in spaces higher than 8-bit.
Fortunately Brendan at fnord software has written a plugin that will catch any NaN pixels and convert them into something readable (thank you Brendan!).

I concur with Stefan’s suggestion. One addition: go ahead and use the key on the bottom layer, but tell it not to use the alpha. If you’re using Keylight, there is a view setting called “Color Corrected Footage” — this allows Keylight to remove all the spill, etc, but doesn’t actually do any cutting. I suggest you use the simplest (that is, default-est) settings possible for this lower layer. The color problems you’re experiencing are probably from the keyer trying to remove spill while simultaneously keying a substantial range of the image….

Hm… I believe it is possible to fade to nothing. I recall having done it with audio recently. Make sure the clip you want the fade to happen on is on an active track (I set hotkeys similar to FCP for this — cmd NUM1, NUM2, NUM3, etc to activate the video tracks, and opt NUM1, NUM2, NUM3, etc for the audio).
I’ll give this a try when I get into the office tomorrow morning and see what happens….

This should do the trick:
Command + D applies the default video transition
Command + Shift + D applies the default audio transitionUse the page-up and page-down keys to jump between edits (you need to be over the edit for the transition to be applied). Note that this only works for active (i.e. hilighted) tracks.
You can set the default transitions’ lengths in the preferences.

I’m pretty confident this is not possible, as I’ve heard other people requesting it for future releases.
You’ll probably have to do it the slow way: export 16 individual tracks (!!!) and then assemble them with QT7 or FCPS3. (Though I imagine you already knew that.)
This would definitely be a welcome feature for PPro….

Here’s a suggested layer order:
1.ALPHA MATTE LAYER: Mask for foot coming over video image
2.LAYER: Base Plate, original footage, ALPHA MATTED
3.ALPHA MATTE LAYER: Mask for newspaper
4.LAYER: Video that fits in newspaper, ALPHA MATTED
5.LAYER: Base Plate, original footageBen Unguren

And note that you can’t actually encode to ProRes without FCP. So you’ll need a separate station with FCP to do that for you…..
