There are a number of possible ways to go about it. You can apply other effects like Bezier Warp to make it whatever shape you want.

If I want to loop particles with Particular, I just keyframe away the particles per second. So I have a start and an end. Then I just take that clip, split it in the middle and move the clips so that the middle split part is now the beginning and end and I overlap the old beginning and end (now the middle) where the particles start and stop so that they seem to mix together.
Bam. Seamless loop.

If you need to maintain absolutely the most pristine quality possible, yes 4444 would be the way to go. It won’t bring colors back that were in the original shot before it was encoded in 422, but it will preserve all of the colors in the work you’ve done.
That said, for most practical purposes, 422 works just fine. The smaller file sizes make passing files around way better and, while 422 might not be technically lossless, it is visually lossless. Unless you’re planning to have the shot go through several more generations (or you need alpha for some reason), 422 is a better practical choice.

Mask out the flag and then use Content Aware Fill. See how well it does with the removal.

The little eyeball switch that turns a layer off is the “video switch” they’re talking about.
You can right-click on a layer and choose “guide layer” to make it a guide layer.

Did you make a good reference frame in Photoshop?

It sounds like you’re describing “judder”. So search for how to solve that and see if it helps.

Also consider other tracking options like Mocha AE that comes with AE for free(!) or, if you have Red Giant Complete, try King Pin Tracker or Spot Clone Tracker

What are your content aware fill settings? I’d think you’d want surface mode instead of object. Also, have you tried creating a reference frame in Photoshop?

You can keyframe up the follow position and follow rotation parameters in the simulation tag. The higher that is, the more your object will try to follow the position and rotation you keyframe it to be.
