Apart from spill suppression and carefully feathered roto (either to isolate the key or the suppression/color correction itself) it is sometimes necessary to actually composite blurry feathered colored solids on top at a percentage to a color that matches the non-motion blurred parts. Sometimes adding a directional blur and then regraining also helps. Time consuming–yes, annoying–yes, but sometimes necessary. There is no magic bullet when you wish to retain motion blur and nothing else is working.

Wow. AE7 is a worthy release in my book. I guess the griping is bound to happen.
This release was a major undertaking because of the new UI and float space. The new UI is SOOOO much better and float space was needed because all of Adobe’s competitors have had it for years.
If you need that much 3D, use a 3D program. AE can’t be everything to everyone–it would become way too bloated. But if you are unhappy email Adobe with specific recommendations on new features. They do listen–eventually.
I for one think masking and integrated color correction should be the next on the to do list.

Having used AE7 also for more than 6 months, the workflow enhancements alone are worth the upgrade. AE biggest issue has been solved–the constant need to rearrange windows instead of getting your work done.
Now for the other stuff. Send your suggestions to Adobe. Be a squeaky wheel!
Mine are: better masking, integrated color correction, and better scaling algorithms.

Sometimes with motion blur you have to track partially by hand. You might spend hours trying to get the perfect track with a tracker when you could just fix the frames that don’t work by hand in less time. Hopefully you are not dealing with too many frames.

You can always adjust afterwards. Do your work then view on a few different TV’s–calibrated and not. Adjust accordingly.
But yes red is generally problematic at high saturations.

track matte maybe?
Use the matte on layer above by either using luminance or an alpha to mask the layer beneath it out.

in must apps autosave generally creates it’s own temp files and does not save over your file until you do

A computer monitor can be made to mimic film more closely. The resolution is driven by your graphics card and the screen real estate you have. 1152×870 and up is the most common.
This way you can color correct and see the entire image at once (at half rez)
