Have you checked your composition settings in AE to make sure it is set to square pixels?

Thanks for the info. A few notes…
You are already exporting an mp4 file. Premiere Pro exports H264 as mp4 unless you choose another container like Quicktime (not recommended!). This is a good codec and should be giving you good results. Looking at your settings, though, there seem to be some issues. Mainly, your keyframe distance is waaay too low. It should be somewhere between 24-72. Use a preset setting from the export window in Premiere; there are both Vimeo and Youtube presets that will give you good results.
Also, a bitrate of 15mbps is very high for 720p video going to YouTube. YouTube or Vimeo will re-compress it anyway, so between 5-7 should be fine.
Finally, from your description of the pink glow and greenscreen, it sounds like some issues are simply being caused by a bad chroma key? I didn’t quite understand that part. A screenshot of the issue could be helpful.
Overall, I think your main problem with the export was the keyframe distance. Fix that and try again. If your video takes long to export, just export a small sample of a problem segment to test with.

Your biggest issue with that could be audio. It will slowly drift out of sync. 29.97fps is ever so slightly slower than 30fps. Less than .1% I think, but over a few minutes it will add up to a noticeable difference.

That’s an odd problem. Are you using Dynamic Link to get your comps from AE to PP? Also, could you post the specific settings you are exporting at?

The information is correct. Is there a specific part you are confused about?

Quick answer 😉 Google is your friend.

Getting a realistic-looking camera lens blur is going to hog your system resources. Try the fast blur or the Gaussian blur. If it looks acceptable, they will render far faster then the Camera Lens Blur or DOF. Granted, they aren’t quite as pretty, but if you value speed over a high quality blur (nothing necessarily wrong with that), then it should look fine.

Here is a web page that should help you get a basic understanding of video codecs and containers.

It depends on a lot more than the video container. Data rate, color sampling, etc are more important. Most DSLRs record H264, which – though usually very good quality – is highly compressed. Most editing software can now handle H264 files with ease, but for color grading or detailed chroma keying, you may want to look into an external recorder. Compressed footage tends to fall apart pretty quickly once you start manipulating it.

Select your text layer and double-tap the “u” key. This should open your text animation properties. To reverse directions, you can duplicate “Animation 1” and change the mode in the “Advanced” twirl down from “add” to subtract”. I think that should do it.
