[Donna Li] “when I opening my AE, it keeps on the stage of initializing media for long about 20mins to half hour”
I’m assuming you mean initializing Media Core.
If that’s the case there is something seriously wrong with the installation or your computer. What Mac are you using? How much RAM etc.
To begin troubleshooting I would perform an uninstall with the Adobe Cleaner app you can get here: https://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
Then reinstall.
Have you repaired permissions on the Mac?

These tutorials should get you started.
In the example you posted, the video has been carefully planned to match the perspective angle of the animation.

[Andreas Sizynski] “In regards to keying, I used a greenscreen in the background to key out, while in the foreground, there are plastic figurines–and one of the figurines has a chest piece that is green. The tone is a little darker than the green screen, but I’m afraid there’s going to be some washing out. Is there a way I can create a “Don’t Key Here” Selection, and is there a way I can apply it to a figurine that is in motion in the composition? (sometimes he is turning, sometimes the camera turns around him)
“What you need is a hold out matte.

Not sure what you’re seeing. If you pick whip the Bulge Center to the Null Position there should not be any offset.
(thisComp.layer(“Trackng Null”).transform.position)
A Null Object’s anchor point is at 0,0 rather than the center of the Null, is that what you’re referring to?

Here’s a tutorial that may get you started. You may need to skip through the long intro to get to the tutorial.

What do you see in the Active Camera View?

Its difficult to understand from the description you provided.
