You could always Pre-Comp your effect and reverse it?

You can try content aware removal tool but I don’t know how much coverage it will give you. Probably a combination of that and hand painting the few frames it is in the shot. Might be something to outsource to a decent compositor if you have the budget. Shouldn’t be more than a days work.

Honestly, I would reach out to Sergei from Ukramedia himself. Dude is awesome at connecting with his followers.

Not sure if this is especially helpful, but Ray Dynamic Color is an elegant solution for these types of problems.

I’m not sure expressions will be able to solve this.

The way I would approach it would be to pre-comp all six sides of the cube separately. You then do the fly-in animation in each of those pre-comps.

From there – put all those cubes together in the main comp, and make sure each pre-comp has the * Collapse Transformations / Continuously Rasterize button is selected.

To start out, just build one side of the cube and use it 6 times, then if you need each side to be unique, just swap them out.
