For some reason I can’t connect o the link you provided to download the footage. However, there’s a trick that always works for me with Keylight- use the Intermediate Result, not the final. Add your own Spill Suppressor and you should be golden, no more noise.

Since it’s a static shot it could just be flat art that was created to look in perspective and animated masks. However, with Free Form or FreeForm Pro you can bend a 2d plane in 3d space.

Since you mention editors it seems that Premiere would be the one you would need training in. AE is not a editing tool, although you can do minor editing in it.
Here are a few useful resources:

For AE, Andrew Davis has a basic series here on the COW, Videocopilot has a good series and of course Linda.com

I would generate a Null from Element3d for your object and animate that – this way you can see the path and tweak it to your liking.

I had no issues with Element 3d – if anything I was always impressed with the speed of it. I am not sure if it will work on your machine, but I have a 3yrs old Alienware MX 17 R2 with ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5800 and that works just fine.
You could try rendering out the camera move from Poser with just 3 flat cards that have crosses on them – that will make it easy to track and get a 3d camera move in AE. From then you will need to match the same position of your elements (make sure that you know where the Poser figure is). Then you can create a 3d background with 2d cards positioned in space ( sky far away, rock/mountain where the Poser character should be, maybe some foreground elements). You can also enhance the look and feel of the 2d elements by using Freeform or FreeForm Pro to give volume to the rock for example.

FreeForm V2 plus Flex could be an option:

You can export your animation as a animated obj sequence, import that in Element 3D and create the camera move straight in AE.
Or you can use C4D.

Use the “Intermediate result” rather than “Final result” and apply your own separate Spill Suppressor.

Like Mike said it’s a combination of production and post-production. For something like this you need a lot of planning and you need to know exactly what kind of gear you can get. If you can get a motion controlled rig for the camera that can match the move you do in the chroma studio shoot that you can shoot any background plate. If not, you’ll need to shoot the actors in the studio first, track the camera move and then build a virtual background using images, footage or 3d apps for that.
