1. Duplicate the object to be filtered. Apply any animations/behaviors before duplicating it.
2. Select the upper instance of the object, apply the filter and mask to it.
The trick is to make sure the 2 instances of the object are synchronized and that the upper instance has the masked filtered area.

So it sounds to me that we should go to the Motion Feedback page and suggest that enabling the auto record button should put a keyframe at the current frame (like After Effects), not frame 1.

Depends on the video card too. More pixels means the video card needs more VRAM, and multiple monitors means multiple connectors.
Consider dual 19″ or a 19″ and 17″ if your video card is capable.
If the output is VGA, get a CRT monitor. VGA doesn’t look very good going into a digital display like an LCD.

If you want us to look at a website please include the link.
One piece of advice is always make a duplicate of the orignal layer and work on the copy.

SInce you are planning on outputting to 4:3 NTSC video (DV or DVD) you need to CROP them to 720×534 and then do an IMAGE SIZE to 720×480 (to get the correct pixel aspect ratio for digital video).

Bear in mind that larger resolution displays eat up more of the VRAM which can affect performance significantly. This is more of a concern on laptops than desktops.

What is the ultimate exhibition medium? Tape? DVD?
Will it be edited in another program?
Do you need to output for different media (tape, dvd, web)?

Cow does have some excellent tutorials. Many are also available on the web (do a google search).
The british company Future Publishing has several magazines that occasionally have AE tutorials (e.g. Computer Arts, Computer Arts Projects), as do magazines like Create, Layers, Digit, MacDesign, etc. Go to the local bookstore and check the magazine racks.

The 2GB file limit is a residue of older computer operating systems.
Something to consider is how to put a 10GB file on a disk that can’t hold that much. CDs typically hold up to 700MB, and standard DVDs only 4.3 GB.

Don’t do a SELECT ALL. The modify command doesn’t work if you go up the edges of the image. Expand the canvas size then marquee select the original area that you wanted to select.
You need pixels in the image that can be expanded into for those commands to work.
