I’m normally not a cynical person on these boards, but…
After Effects CS3 was released in July 2007. So you’re telling me that you lost installers for valuable 3rd party plug-ins that you’re presumably paid for within 28 months? I don’t know about you, but I treat installers like these like gold. They’re always accessible on my system and backed up as well.
…
That being said, look in AE CS3/plugins. If you’re on a Mac, also look in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS3/MediaCore/ Don’t know what to tell you for Windows.

Something like this is designed outside of After Effects in a program like Illustrator.
But if you want to do it in AE only, you could use different layers, one for the days, another for days of week, and yet another for month.Adobe CS3, Apple FCS2

The footage is all progressive. I’m working with 2k Red footage at 23.976.

It actually looks like a flat 2D layer in 3D space, despite the shading on the white bar. It’s most likely a series of solids revealed by masks, precomposed, then placed in 3D space.

Command+ L/R Arrow. Or fn+ Up/Down arrows.

Would you be able to use the graph editor to get a decent acceleration curve?
Also, I’d highly recommend having a propeller element that’s already blurred. Many times, motion blur in AE doesn’t exactly yield the results you might want.
What I would do is use the graph editor to get a nice acceleration curve, then possibly add a light wiggle expression to give it a little variance. Then I’d transition that into a blurred propeller with some rotation (both directions, look at some reference footage) and a high-frequency wiggle so you have more control over what the blurred propeller looks like instead of relying on the sub-frame samples in AE.

If you have it available, Trapcode Form would be better suited for this as it can respond to sound files natively.

The output module preset you want is “Lossless.” This will give you a QuickTime movie with the Animation codec.
As far as compressing to MPEG-2, you can try the included Adobe Media Encoder if you have CS4. Otherwise Compressor works okay on a Mac, or Episode from Telestream on Mac or Windows ($495). It will all depend on your budget and requirements for delivery.

Nope. From Current Time is unchecked.

This does indeed look like judder.
Two things to try: either raise the framerate (which is what rendering with fields is effectively doing) or open up the shutter under Project Settings: Advanced for more motion blur.
(Also, your text has no motion blur, which may be adding to the perceived judder.)
