Here is a link to part 1 of a 3 part tutorial on that may prove useful and covers many techniques used in the sample you linked to.

If there is no compression the output file should be identical to the input file.

The blocky noise in the jacket may be compression artifact either introduced in camera or in post.
I agree with Ted, the reduce noise filter has to be tweaked, you may need to use an adjustment layer or some other method to isolate the areas you want the noise removed from, otherwise you run the risk of making the whole image too soft.

I have no experience with Firefogg.
However since you are using AME already couldn’t you just render out the same cut points in an uncompressed format and take those into Firefogg?
At least it would save you a step.

“Running AE CS5 on a machine with only 4 GB of RAM.
Seriously, you’re starved for memory and cannot take advantage of either Nucleo Pro (which spawns instances of AE, each requiring RAM) or MultiProcessing which behaves in a similar manner.

Set the second mask to Subtract.

If you only have 3GB of RAM, After Effects is starved for memory.
Your options are
1: reduce the preview resolution (see the options in the transport control panel where the RAM preview button resides)
2: reduce number of frames previewed by using Shift-RAM preview and setting it to skip every other frame.
3GB is not enough to work effectively in After Effects, you’ll run into many memory issues.

Sounds to me as though the text is black and you’re viewing it on a black background.
What happens when you click the transparency switch in the Comp window?
The file from Illustrator should come in with alpha intact and you should be able to see the artwork.

After adding the slider expression control to Null 1 the modification the script should read:
N1 = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”);
N2 = thisComp.layer(“Null 2”);
N3 = thisComp.layer(“Null 3”);
N4 = thisComp.layer(“Null 4”);p0 = N1.position;
p1 = N2.toWorld(N2.anchorPoint);
p2 = N3.toWorld(N3.anchorPoint);
p3 = N4.position;c = 3*(p1 – p0);
b = 3*(p2 – p1) – c;
a = p3 – p0 – c – b;t0 = index/(thisComp.numLayers – 3);
s = N1.effect(“Slider Control”).param(“Slider”);
if(s < 0){
s += 1;
t = t0*s;
}else{
t = s + t0 – s*t0;
}((a*t +b )*t + c)*t + p0
