I’m assuming that you’ve installed the font using Font Book.
Here are 2 possible issues:
You may want to Validate the Font, select the font in Font Book and choose File > Validate Font.
If that doesn’t work, it may be due to font duplication, from the Edit menu choose Resolve Duplicates.

Under Emission Extras set the Pre-Run to the number of frames required.

Looks like Trapcode 3D Stroke and Trapcode Form.

If you’re trying to match the color and tone of the background try using Color Finesse.
I dislike the term “correction” as it applies to color since it implies there is a “correct” color, unless you’re making colors legal “for broadcast, really you’re tweaking the color to taste. You are color grading.

You need to understand some color theory to get started, also look at light wrap around the subject.

I’m assuming you’re using the version of Mocha that comes with After Effects and not the Pro version with the new removal tool.

How many frames do you have to fix? Would the clone tool work?

I suspect its the footage compression. Two differing Long GOP formats, try transcoding these to JPEG or PNG or Animation, any format where the frames are actually present.
To quote Mr. LaRonde:
Dave’s Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following — footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVCHD, mp4, mts, m2t, H.261 or H.264 — you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.

Can’t you use the masking tools to make the square the size you want?

[Nicolas Ayerbe] “I’m working in a ridiculously huge Comp of 6926×3896 because I don’t want to lose resolution,”
Are you planning to render at this size, if not no reason to work at that scale. If you are, use Proxies then render out without the proxies.

[Lance Halladay] “expression that recognizes when that layer collides with another layer”
There is collision detection, but it is based on the layer’s boundaries so that it will likely not work in your case since if your layers intersect they will disappear.
