Click on a keyframe to select it. You should see the handles then.

Import the other project as though it were a clip. It will create a folder in the project pane containing the compositions.

AE can’t do what you want (similar to an Extend Edit in Final Cut Pro). Try sending feedback to Adobe.

Look into Trapcode’s 3D Stroke plug-in:

Textwrangler might be deleting hidden characters that are required by the Motion templates. Using a Hex code editor to open and edit the files might work better.

Simple way: Draw the box and then animate masks to “draw” each edge.
Complex way:
1. Draw a single straight line with the bezier tool.
2. Set the anchor point to the starting point (left if it is going to draw to the right).
3. Add keyframes to have the end point over the start point to begin drawing, and the second keyframe where the line stops drawing itself.
4. Duplicate 3 times (for the other lines that will make the box) and rotate, change position, and change start times as necessary.Jim Kanter,

Have you tried trashing your preferences file?

The MPEG format is going to compress all the nice detail and make it look blocky and ugly. You’re better off outputting from AE as an AVI.

Have you checked the frame rate for the composition?

Have you tried a web search for AE tutorials? There’s lots of them out there. Plenty here on the COW too.
