Can you post screen grab of your text and the text options, cause no matter what I do, I can’t get my text to be reversed.

I second Jim’s advice. When I graduated, I only had college experience, no demo reel and really no plan. At that point I sent resumes to every production company in the city and got 1 reply to be an intern. For me that’s all I needed and i made the most of it. In addition the glamorous jobs of sweeping the studio, making sure the equipment was put back correctly, loading vans, carrying gear, charging batteries and going on food runs for the editors and graphics guys(pre-after effects days), I made sure to sit/watch/learn everything I could. I went from the guy doing all of the grunt jobs, to the guy digitizing and logging tapes, inserting commercials into shows, cutting short sequences to being hired as an editor. Been doing this for 17 years now, so somewhere along the way I must have gotten something right.

First what codec have you selected? Also it would be helpful to post a screen shot of the output module you have selected on the computer that is not giving your a RGBA choice.

Check out the Vector Paint and Light Storm tutorials from Bill O’Neil. They are over 10 years old, so you will have to update some things, paint for vector paint.
Or you could use a particle emitter like Andrew Kramer does here: 3D Stroke Effect

Looks like it was probably made with Trapcode Particular/Starglow. But if you don’t have those plugins, you could use CC Particle World, directional blurs and glow to recreate that. Probably multiple layers of different varatioins of those effects to create that effect.
For an even more organic look check out the Free Particle Stock Footage & Tutorial

A method I like is to use the Selective Color effect to get a more even green to key. Check out this tutorial, it covers the technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woZflhiwJ6Y#t=49
For your video, you’ll probably need multiple keys though.

Create an adjustment layer, mask it(I would feather the mask vertically, maybe 60 pixels-play around with that), and add a directional blur_notice it only blur is at 90 degrees only.
