Melting frost on window
Trying to melt frost on a window in a time lapse sort of way so the water trickles down off the screen to reveal an image behind the glass. Is there any footage anybody knows about that can be purchased or is there a labor intensive way of doing it in AE.
Thanks ahead of time

May be not the best solution but here’s what I would try;
(Fractal Noise + Roughen Edges) = Frost + Liquify (or Displacement Map) = Melting).
Turn up the complexity for the Fractal Noise and the Roughen Edges effects (I’d use “Rusty”). Play with the settings (supposing you already know these effects).
Depends on how realistic you want it to be. I mean, you could always take some frosted still image then animate the Roughen Edges effect to make it “melt” and play with the blending modes. Distort effects too. Bottom line, I don’t think this will be pretty easy to do in AE. But still, with patience and a lot of tweaking, might worth the efforts.
Good luck.

I stumbled across this plugin today:
https://www.alphaplugins.com/products/products.php?menu=get_prod_id&p_menustate=&prod_id=13
I don’t know anything about it, but maybe it’s what you’re looking for..?
Kind regards,

for melting the frost (Which should be generated either via that plugin or made in photoshop or whatever), I’d use the simple choker effect (MAtte > Simple Choker). It disolves the edges of a layer. and like it was suggested, use roughen edges as well to give it a some randomness.
