How do I achive this effect in AE CS6

[John Cuevas]

There are a few things happening there that make that effective. On the beat, video slows down. That could be created using using a time effect(timewarp) or just time remapping the layer.

Next the video is duplicated twice and masked and stacked above the original layer. Position keyframes move the 2 upper layers into place. The opacity of these layers isn’t 100%, and with a couple of keyframes they fade quickly out, revealing back the original image.

I made a very simplified version of the effect to illustrate the technique. 7116_pipandopacityfadefolder.zip

Hello John, You are awesome. I truly appreciated your time and sample you shared with me. This is exactly I was looking for. I think this may be a built in effect in final cut pro. Thanks so much.
