I’ll check it out. Thanks!

It looks pretty good. Will try giving that a spin with the trial period.

File–>Import–>Your friend’s project.
Or have your friend export a file with an Alpha Channel and import that if you don’t need to adjust anything.

This is the best way. I do it all the time when needing a fast fix and it works perfectly.

Pro Res or DNxHD are supposed to be visually lossless, but are actually still being compressed into their respective codecs. Quicktime Animation or TIFF sequence are technically lossless, but will give you massive files.

Now that you successfully rendered it out of After Effects, use Media Encoder to convert it a Pro Res or DNxHD file that Premiere should be able to handle. Exporting the TIFF sequence was basically to get it out of AE as efficiently as possible. Now that all the effects are rendered, the TIFF sequence should transcode pretty quickly.

You can create it with a particle system. Using either Particular or Particle World, make big, puffy particles that have a long lifespan and a very wide emitter.

Unfortunately your current laptop is really not adequate for editing 4K. Not sure why the folks at Apple thought it would be good enough. I also recommend a PC with a robust graphics card and lots of RAM. You can be more selective on what you want and can upgrade it over time.

I’ve used Plexus to do this. Nodes 2 would likely also work. You could try doing it cheaply using the Connect Layers script with a bunch of Null Objects animated with expressions to animate position and rotation.

Honestly, with 6 camera lens blurs and 70 rotobrush shots, I’m not sure how much you can do to speed things up. Definitely render to a local drive. Also, export an image sequence so if you do get an error halfway through, you can pick up where you left off.
