You could try adding a second stroke to your shape, but much thinner or duplicating the shape layer and thinning the stroke to act as a matte to make the gaps. Fractal Noise and Tint instead of Fill will give you some more of the texture look.
And adding a Wiggle Paths to the shape layer will also help match the look.

Take a look at Vegas instead of Stroke. That’ll give you the faded tail. I noticed the edges of the ones in the screenshot were stronger than the interiors, so I used Find Edges set to invert to give it a border. But then Vegas started showing strobing, so i plonked in a fast box blur to hide that.

Could you post a screenshot of After Effects and a second one of media encoder? There too many possibilities from your description and pictures will help narrow it down.

When you say different perspectives of the object, I’m guessing that you want it to appear to tumble as it falls? If so, assemble your stills in one comp, (each one lasting a frame or 2) and then use that comp as your falling object in another comp.

I think you might be out of luck. The particles are linked to the 3D Null, which you could parent to another null and scaling that up should probably scale up the movement positions, but the particle effect itself will also need its particle scale and number of particles altering manually.
I suppose you could use expressions to multiply the current values by the same factor? That might work, something like:
Position: [value[0]*2,value[1]*2,value[2]*2]
Or particle number: value*2

Lots of different ways to do this. Firstly you’ll need to isolate your actor, either greenscreen or rotabrush to separate the background. Then you can add effects like Colorama to the background as you change it and your character will remain in place.

I’ve had problems with Instagram video myself. (Not sure if it’s connected, but I’m on my iPad right now and choppy your video wouldn’t play for me). I’ve given up trying to upload videos from my PC – Insta is very device focussed, so I get the videos onto my phone and post from there.

So you need to add up the widths of all the text layers? I’m guessing that you won’t know how many text layers there are?

Using CC Glass with a shape layer is probably the closest you can get to the CC Lens effect but with different shapes. If you use the shape layer for both the bump map and as an Alpha channel. It’s not quite right but you could always add in extra effects and probably get closer.

Had a few minutes, so put this together. It was a little more involved than I first explained, but in a nutshell:
Make a rectangle
Make a square
Rotate the square by 45 degrees.
Add an slider control and match all the timeline properties and expressions to the image.
Drag one of the shape’s Stroke options out of the shape and place it at the bottom of the shape list. This will then run on both shapes (and turn the other stroke off).
