Hey Manuel,
This (link below) is not a perfect solution due to the fact that you don’t have 100% accurate control of what frames are dropped and such but I think it is probably the best compromise between simplicity and accurate results. It is easy because the plug in does all the heavy lifting for you and then you just have to tune your results a bit till you get a good result.

If it doesn’t cross back over itself, you might be able to use it as a lumma matte over a solid with like a 4-color gradient effect or something.

Yep what Darby suggested was how I was going to go about it.

do you have a picture of the raw footage you can post, so we can see how close these greens are?

If you are using Element 3D V1.6 or above then you can use the generate 3d position to create a null attached and aligned to the surface of any 3d model you are using in Element. Then just copy the position and orientation to your video layer in 3d mode. Here is a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSN2OpbV18g#at=124

In my experience you have to bake the camera if using sure target. What is slowing you computer down so bad is not the 100+ layers (don’t get me wrong that’s probably part of it), but Sure target is expression heavy and weighs down on your comp hard. have you tried baking the camera in sections and switching from baked camera to baked camera?

haha yeah I did cross post. I leave the cow up on my comp and I forgot to hit refresh before I answered this post so didn’t see that it was already answered. I liked your checkerboard point though. I tried it immediately and I see your point with precomping.

Create a black and white solid (or whatever 2 colors you want your stripes to be). Duplicate both layers several times (the more times the thinner the stripes). duplicate one layer a last time so that there is an odd number. now sort these layers alternating from top to bottom. E.G.; white black white black white black white. Notice that the layers start and end with the same color. now parent layer one to layer two. then parent layer 2 to layer 3, and layer 3 to layer 4 and so on until all layers are parented to the layer below them except for the last layer which is parented to none. then make sure all layers are highlighted and hit p for position. With all layers highlighted move the y position (for horizontal stripes, x value for vertical stripes) to a higher or lower value until all stripes are of even width. That is the simplest way I can think to do it.

So I don’t have a full answer but that’s because I didn’t have the time to figure out and write out the expression right now, but if I do get the time to do it then I will post it to this thread. anyways It would probably have to be a series of looping layers each with an if then statement expression attached to their opacity. This if than will be if bass (or treble) is over a value than opacity is 100 else 0 type expressions. How to do if else statements is mentioned here https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/dynamic_machine_gun/ To do that you will have to seperate your treble and bass into values atached to nulss. how to do that is mentioned in this tutorial. https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/audio_to_animation/ Best of luck and like I said if i can get to it I will try to write it, but IDK if i will be able to. You can also post this question on the expressions page. They are very helpful there.

What i would do is duplicate your car footage. then do a rough mask around the car. Then on the top layer drop your saturation to 0. Then apply curves (levels works too, but I hate levels. just a personal preference)Then adjust your curves so that the car is 100% white and your black screen is 100% black and your windshield is in the blackish grey. that way you still have some windshield. Then set the bottom car footage layer to Luma Matte insert you background of the parking lot underneath all that, and then you will have it.
