Mpeg 4 works sometimes. Sorenson Squeeze works well also. In the settings try reducing the amount of keyframes in the movie. This will add more compression and should make the file smaller. This also affects quality negatively.

Sounds to me you might have field domionance problem. It’s hard to say without seeing it but I’ve run into this before when either my field wasn’t set right and/or my artwork had really fine lines. There are many ways to fix this that largely depend on what you are outputting to.

One technic you could try also in addition to what Steve suggested would be to strobe the video in your NLE before applying effects. This might add to the effect.

If you can’t create it, try making it. Shoot seome fire against a blue or black background. Then you could add it in as an element. Plus once you key and clean it up, you’ll have some real fire for future prjects. Just don’t call me if the fire gets out hand… call 911. There is Reel Fire you can get I think from Digital Juice.

Under video you could select make broadcast safe. Last I heard Avid takes care of this for you. Double check your render settings verses your Avid Import settings. If you make sure the color mode is the same and are using avid codec, you should be fine. Media 100 is a system that doesn’t do this so the levels must be set. For correct black level set that to 18. That should take your blacks from 0 ire to 7.5 ire. If your white are blooming, your blacks are probably sub black. On Avid import try import with RGB colors. this will import using 0-255 colorspace and shouldn’t have to apply levels to fix this.

You could try paint or vector paint along with some creative masking. I did this on a spot a while back to essentially rubber stamp out some power lines. But I had a still shot with minimal motion. Otherwiseit sounds to be a frame by frame tedious task u have before you.

this eluded me for a while until someone told me how simple it was. Select the footage in your comp, select the footage to replace it in the project window. Hold the alt key down and drag the replacement footage over the old one on the comp window. That should do it.

No way to do what u want in one swoop but here is what you could do. Select the layers u want to precomp. Go to layer> precompose. In the dialogue box,one precomps everything, one does the layers only.
you could also duplicate the comp in the project window several times (apple+D/cntrl+D). Open up those duped comps (I suggest renaming 1st), and either turn off the visability or delete the layer you don’t want shown. Then que them up to render. -
You might want to check out Trapcodes Lux. I have never used but the demos I have seen maybe what you’re looking for.
