“This is the talker plug-in. A, E, I, O, U. Thank you.”
Oh, yea — I totally remember this plug-in. I had a lot of fun playing with it, though I never managed to find a place for it in any serious project. From time to time, during a project, I’ve wondered if it was still around, thinking it would be interesting to try to implement it.
It feels like the kind of thing a good expression could do for you as well (nest five layers in a separate composition, then drive which of the 5 layers is visible with a slider), though the plug-in would probably be more efficient.
As for money, I think it would work best as what you see on aescripts.com, where a minimal amount is charged, or else the person downloading chooses their own price. But I imagine you probably can’t quit the day job with that kind of operation.
I wonder if anyone else remembers the plugin….

If it’s a static shake (if the camera itself isn’t changing it’s position while filming) then you might just want to stabilize the original shot, do your painting, then reintroduce the shake afterwards….
Not sure if this meets your needs, but I’ve successfully used Mocha for removing things from moving objects (like a collar on an animal): you can track a surface and export corner-point tracking data, to which you can apply a “filler” image. This filler will “stick” to the scene (more or less) and then you can use a matte (also made w/Mocha) to define where the filler will be visible.

Try the Glow filter. The threshold parameter will set the level above which the glow is applied. Also, try Glow with a higher color depth (option-click on the 8 at the bottom of the project window to toggle between 8bit, 16bit, and 32bit color) — you’ll get wildly different results with different depths.

You may want to check out dvgarage’s DVMatte Pro: https://www.dvgarage.com/dvmatte-pro
It was designed for working with 4:1:1 DV footage. I used it on one project with reasonable success. Never tried it with the 4:2:2 footage that comes out of a 5D camera….
One other thing to consider: if you’re shooting people standing up, you may want to rotate the camera 90 degrees and shoot sideways. That way you have more person and less green in the shot, which gets you more resolution, and thus a better final result.

That’s very helpful information, but I’m afraid I still don’t’ know exactly what the problem is. Is this a different camera (broke the old one, ordered a replacement)? Maybe the firmware is a different build or something — did you update the firmware?
The changes seem to be happening BEFORE it gets into Premiere. Though the problem may be an interpretation issue in Premiere. For now, updating all video codecs seems the most important step. You’ll probably find all you need on the Panasonic website, in the support section. Download, install, try again (ask everyone you know to cross their fingers for you. I’m busy at work, but I’ll keep my tows crossed on your behalf!).

Well, that’s good news! A constant offset is much better than audio drift, IMO. Much easier to fix.
Have you tried exporting an out-of-sync clip from Premiere (into an H264 codec, e.g.) — does the audio drift show up there? That way you can find out if it is a playback-in-premiere issue or if it’s an importing-the-audio issue.
Are all your codecs up-to-date?
If there are only a few clips, I’d just sync them up in Premiere and export them from your current interframe codec (AVCHD, I’m guessing?) into a more-reliable intraframe codec (ProRes, DNxHD) and go from there…. Obviously this doesn’t uncover the problem, but it does allow you to press on with your work….

Another (older-school) option is to use an adjustment layer over your particular and apply the Echo filter, Normal mode, with a fade value of around 90%

Sounds like a codec issue to me. I’d open the movie file in the old quicktime player, or MPEG Streamclip, or perhaps Photoshop, and export it as an image sequence, then work with that instead.
For large files (filesize and framesize), image sequences are still king, IMO.
