I would still render an Animation Codec version of your comp, it is a good codec that doesn’t care about your editing system. Some day in the future someone might need to import your animation into a system that can’t play ProRes, for example.

Track mattes are very powerful, you should definitely learn about them. We often create track mattes by using a precomped copy of the footage then we effect the heck out of the footage in the precomp to make it high contrast in just the right way.

Why no Duck? You can’t USE The Duck: It only sends AE a series of pointers to the original media. And where’s that original media? On the other machine.
I’m afraid this proclamation is incorrect. You certainly can use Automatic Duck to import a Final Cut Pro sequence on a different machine, we do it all the time in our shop. The media referenced by the XML simply needs to be available to the After Effects system, whether copied locally or visible on shared storage. I hope that helps.
