Personally I’d precompose comp A and insert it into comp B and C. This will allow you to make changes to comp A later and have them automaticly reflected in comps B and C

For RGB+A I use HUFFY-YUV (avi-codec)
Fast and lossless with a reasonably good compression ratio.

Yeah, its aggravating. I need to have another app open in the background to assist in font selection, due to the poor implementation in AE.
ALthough, tis is a broader problem with _all_ Adobe apps; font selection has always been goofy. Many have said this is by design for some reason, but I don’t buy it.
The free app I use for Windows BTW:

Did you stabilize in AE? If so I’d pre comp the footage, then enlarge the child comp slightly and create a duplicate of the footage layer. Send the dupe to the back and enlarge it by like 10 – 20%. Create a mask around your original footage layer to get rid of any black around the edges, and feather it by a couple of pixels. You may have to play around with the enlarged layer to make it line up with the original. This should give your a fairly good “image-cushion” around your master comp without enlarging the source footage.

Apply this to your clips position proprty: wiggle(.5,20)
and this to its rotation property: wiggle(.5,2)
dork around with the numbers until you get something you like.

A possible solution to your second question:
I’d experiment with exporting using different lossless QT codec’s, like “animation” or “PNG” @ 100%. Then use the resulting QT as a master for recompressing to a lower bit-rate for your audience (if that’s what your planning to do).

This is called “spill”, and it occurs when you subject is too close to your screen, both Ultimatte and Keylight generally deal with this automatically.
But it your case all you may need to do is manually balance your white and black points. No keyer is going to give you perfect results right off the bat, you’ll need to tweak the spill-balance and base-matte settings until something looks good.
I’ve used many choma-key plugins for ae including Ultimatte and Keylight, but i prefer dvmatte by dvgarage (especially if your footage was scanned to DV)

Are you doing any scaling or using a camera layer?
