The brains behind a lot of the good things that came out of Profound Effects was Jeff Almasol. He now works for the After Effects team directly. He posts a lot of very useful things on his own redefinery website, in addition to the script packages that he posts on the After Effects Exchange.

Here’s a thread that addresses the same question and links to an example project:

My first thought would be to use the Clone Stamp tool.

When I created the “Basic workflow tutorial” page, one of my goals was to introduce a few of the more commonly used shortcuts. So, you might want to check that out.
Of course, all of the keyboard shortcuts are listed here: “Keyboard shortcuts”.

“Asking a question on the COW is nice, but a Google search gets you a result much faster.”
…and an After Effects Community Help search is faster yet. (It’s just a Google search limited to websites known to contain good information—like the COW, of course.)

For After Effects, there’s really not much point in getting a top-of-the-line graphics card. For After Effects, you’ll likley be better off spending your money on RAM and extra hard drives before you spend it on a high-end graphics card.

Yes, you can change the Start Timecode. As with all composition settings, the value that you set becomes the default for new compositions, too.
I found this by entering your subject line into the After Effects Help search: timecode start time

You can choose an output frame rate in the render settings. After Effects can sample at different frame rates when rendering for final output. You get best results when the footage, composition, and output have the same frame rate, but you can certainly mix and match. The only risk is a loss in quality when After Effects interpolates between frames. Making sure that frame blending is on and set to Pixel Motion (highest quality) can mitigate this loss in quality.
