Sure, you could make gravity perfect and all math perfect, but I think you could be 80% there with simple elastic expressions, some basic keyframing and wiggle with rubber bounce controlled by an animated slider box.

another thought is, an autotrace luma might work too, but I don’t know why the tc is off, try a slipped vector precomp. and I would also check all the comps are the same framerate.

A simple motion tracked garbage matte would fix the white but there’s a bigger problem. If you have a lot of motion, vector paint will look jumpy because you really need to paint on all the fields and not just the lower fields.

You can do that by doubling the framerate in the composition settings – it will show you each field in the interlaced video. It means twice the amount of paint work though… that’s why no one uses vector paint in interlaced footage.
and here’s an automatic alternative to your problem.

You should be able to use the photoshop patch tool to clean plate the trees
by adjacent pixels and when parts are revealed. Mocha in cs4 is great, but luma and alpha mattes are still much faster.
These few tutorials should take a few hours to digest, but will save you hundreds of hours in the long run.

For the price it will take to do this in post, you could greenscreen, 5 minutes later after key, drop fading foilage in and be finished. But for the sake of argument, let’s try the hard way.
After you have perfect mattes which I discussed in the above post, you will still need to clone the missing layers by creating a special type of clean plate that you don’t see in the beginning of the effect, i.e. they’re hidden.
There’s so many tutorials covering all the skills needed that I either post 100 links or post none. Needless to say, unless you’re absolutely sure you can finish, I recommend greenscreen. It will be better faster, cleaner, and more tweakable.

question #1, is this a very stable locked down shot on a tripod?
qu#2, why do you need to layer it? is it to move like a cardboard pop up, or to rack focus?
If its locked down, you can get the moving objects matted with difference matte. Other things, you will have to custom isolate with hue, saturation, stencil alpha, custom shift channels,& autotrace luma, because the alternative is bad news, roto leaves…

for Inertial Bounce, keyframe a shape layer changing direction, then alt click for expression, paste in code, the circle shape will stretch with centrifugal force to the other side back and forth. It’s useful for camera movements too if set low.

Here’s an update.
just use the matte adj controls inner/outer sliders to matte for the smart blur output. You can set it for blue and do fast sky replacements, no roto. Guess where I got inspiration from? andrew kramer.
