Although I own Adobe Audition, I choose to use Sony Acid Studio Pro for MIDI. It appears that as of CS5.5, MIDI track support went away when the application was rewritten to be cross-platform compatible. I don’t believe that it has come back.
Even when there was a MIDI track capability, there were an awful lot of complaints about its’ implementation:

I apologize for not ready further into your post. It sounds as if Particular (or possibly one of the built-in particle effects in AE) might do the job.

If the ball effect is what you’re looking for, CC Ball Action might do the job. Take a quick look at this VideoCopilot tutorial, and you can decide pretty quickly if it will help out:

Not that most of what’s in the tutorial is 3D-ish looking. You can also keep things pretty flat as well.

What the warning means is that there is more than one copy installed on your machine, and all but one copy must be removed. The plugin is most likely named “Unmult.aex”. Do a search on all drives of your machine, and see how many copies show up. There might be a copy in one of the Adobe Common folders, or elsewhere. Get rid of the multiple copies – you could be safe just leaving the one which is in the Plugins folder – and the message should go away.

I think that if you copy the artwork layer, then make it greyscale, you can use that layer as the custom source for a Gradient Wipe:

Then drive the position of your light rays with the Gradient Wipe.

The first video sure looks like a practical effect (real light rig on set) to me. While it could be done in a 3D app, with 3D bulbs and lens flares, it would probably be cheaper to hire a lighting designer to build the prop.
The second one can definitely be done in AE. You could use a combination of the CC Ball Effect on a couple of layers, combined with glows, or you could purchase a template and save a lot of time:

Although not exactly the look you’re talking about, it’s a pretty sharp looking effect.

This might simplify your job, although you would be giving up, to a certain extent, the creative options you get with deigning them yourself:

Michael –
One way to do this (and it may not be the only way) is to create a single clip from the multiple clips. This appears to be non-destructive, although I have not tried it:
A simpler way appears to be just using the bottom track in your multi-track session, which is the Master Track, and allows you to control all your above tracks with a Master Fader:

This looks like a job for Crazy Talk:

You just shoot a still of the model you want to animate, or a still grabbed from a 3D package, setup the eyes and mouth, and pick key facial points to animate, then put in a script. It works quite well.
