Can you clarify what is “audio waveform fx”? is it an effect? Is it a template you’re using the visualize some audio? I’m a bit lost…
And what happens if you render out to another format? Like an image sequence?

mocha took into consideration the proportions of your image. That workflow is different than the usual with AE’s tracker, so you don’t have to scale to comp size, just precomp the image (leaving attributes) and apply the masking there.

Asking for the budget is usually works better when you have an ongoing relationship with the client (like agencies and such) so you can do the work accordingly to the pay.
This doesn’t seem the case to me, so you’d better ask for what you’re comfortable with for 3-4 days of work. You could also consider if you can simplify something and specify that presenting more than one cost.
Giving advice of the amount is hard because we may not live in the same market (I’m from Brazil) and also customs may differ. So take my advice with a grain of salt.
Good luck

I see, I guess with that as a goal, nothing automatic would look as such.

That example has like 4-6 steps. That would be doable by hand. To change that we would have to know more, such as does it have a texture you need to keep track of? do the pieces have gravity? you know, that was a bad example from what I take you’ll want.
The shatter effect is hard to control and it’s pretty limited/unimpressive.
I’d try in two ways…
1-Break stuff in a 3d app and render it out. Replace the texture and change the seed, simulate again. It’s fast to do that nowadays.
2-Or you could procedurally break it with textures (or noises) using luma (raising its levels) in AE. That would simulate the disintegration better but you would still have to animate some parts by hand to make the shattering less unified.

Try to reinstall your video drivers. Download them directly from Nvidia, don’t use the Windows process.
Also, since you’ve got 2 GPUs. Make sure the Nvidia one is taking over Intel on AE. (There’s probably a Nvidia application that lets you force that behavior, I’ve use it before but I honestly don’t remember exactly how)

You could try creating a smaller solid instead of scaling it way down.
You could try to continuously rasterize that solid.
You could use effects that simulate that behavior (beam effect, for example).
You could have a shape layer’s path with stroke.Keep in mind that there are several ways to get that done, a bunch of UI scripts already have buttons that automate that process (Motion v2, Duik, etc.) Each one relies on different methods. But usually they create nulls that simplify the links.

[Pete Burges] “but in principle that might work with some other package that supports bezier splines.”
Hah! We wish! We’re talking about Adobe’s software here. They lock stuff out between versions of the same application…I bet once you control+c the spline in AE, the memory will get a proprietary code instead of a generic math function. If we were talking about Maxon or companies that don’t take steps to makes things deliberately harder for the user I would have that positive, hopeful expectation too.

yeah, that makes little sense for me too. Plus the fact that it doesn’t seem to react quite like a keyframe’s influence.
Once I get things set up I’ll save the animation to a preset and name it properly so I don’t have to fuss with that anymore.

Your Timeline should be:
#layer1 : A pre-comp of: (apply Starglow to this pre-composition)
#1: Luma sequence
#2: Beauty sequence (with track matte set to luma)#layer2: Beauty sequence’s copy
