Follow Andrew Kramer’s tutorial here on creating the particles, and mapping it to a null object (making it much easier to control):

The reason for the 3D suggestion is that the shapes need to rotate on an oval path. This can be achieved by turning the shapes into 3D layers, then rotating them slightly on the x-axis.
Imagine looking straight at a perfect circle, then rotating it on the x-axis. From the front perspective, it becomes an oval.
Now back to my suggestion… using CC Particle World. You could create the blue streaks with particles (no velocity, high particles per second, and scale down over time). With particles, the streaks become 3D and the logo can be viewed from any angle. You also have much more flexibility with special effects when using particles if he wanted to spice up the animation at all.

CC Particle World could be used just as easily as Trapcode Particular on this project, and likely give better results than an animated mask.

This is a bug with the preview only. The menu will not exhibit this behavior once you build it.

No, this is not possible with Encore and must be added in the editing software.

If you want the best quality, and with using only free utlities, you should read this article:

The method involves using a highly tuned downscaling algorithm in conjunction with a free mpeg2 encoder, called HC Encoder. The results are better than any NLE program or separate encoding software such as squeeze or tmpgenc. You will be impressed. Programs are only for the PC, but will work in Boot camp or maybe even Parallels.

I would advise against using Windows XP 64bit. It was never really fully developed, and you are lucky those are the only problems you have been experiencing. You would be much better off with Vista 64 or Windows 7 for a 64 bit OS.

I’m not sure what they are using in Avatar, but I’ve heard from many people that Primatte is a much better keyer than Keylight.
