Items are moved out of watch folders after they’re rendered.
If you’re automating this, I’d have your automation generate the new comps in the AEP, then save and copy the AEP into the watch folder.

Allie, it looks like there are a few mistakes or typos in here. Can you briefly describe what you’re looking for this to accomplish and then I can make some suggestions?

I strongly agree with the suggestion to use a dropdown — they’re much easier for your template’s users to understand and use.
Here’s some documentation on how to set them up:

I’m really liking HP ZCentral Remote Boost [link] for remote control. It uses more bandwidth, but the latency is low and the quality is high. It also includes multi-monitor support and remote USB support. It’s included with HP Z workstations, but you can also purchase it separately.

If you’re collaborating with Premiere Pro editors, you might look into the Essential Graphics (.mogrt) workflow: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/creating-motion-graphics-templates.html
Unfortunately, there’s no real way to lock down a project permanently. I think about the best you can do is strongly discourage editing with locked/shy layers.

Yes. Press the E key twice to reveal expressions on the selected layer(s).

Yes! Alt+click your rotation property, then add this expression:
loopOut(“offset”);
The effect of the loop will be cumulative; each iteration of the loop (as defined by the keyframes you have set) will add on to where the previous iteration left off.
Here’s a quick visual example:

After Effects cannot render an orthogonal camera view; it only renders perspective cameras.
Your solution of 2D layers that track the 2D projection of a 3D point is smart, but it will break 3D intersections, lighting, and shadow-casting.
One other possible solution is to reduce the perspective distortion of the camera itself by positioning it very far away from your scene, and zooming it very close in.

I’d choose RAM!
Ae is using the graphics card more and more with each release, but its reliance on RAM is still much higher than its reliance on the GPU.

Good call, Kevin. I actually wrote a script a few years back to “UnUnmult” a project, replacing the Red Giant effect with a couple of different options:
