Unless I’m missing something, you can just precompse. Make the matte and use the track matte set to luma inverted like u wanted, then precomp it and use that comp in your 3d layer

Render out the highest quality lossless file from AE then compress it in a different program like compressor, media encoder, or soreson. AE shouldn’t be used for compression. I usually compress to a mp4 h.264

Your problem is when you covert your footage. I’ve never used that software (I prefer soreson squeeze). But you need to maintain your Aspect Ratio. You are converting it into 480p which is why your footage is looking streached vertically.

Sorry for such a late response.
Simple answer – No
Complex answer – theoretically it is possible but would require advanced vfx knowledge and skills and countless hours of rotoscoping and masking and color retouching to match the rest of the shot. And in the end it still wouldn’t look 100% perfect.

Another good tip is to export your video into the highest possible quality, then compress it in another program (adobe media encoder, soreson squeeze, compressor). That way you can practice compressing in different ways and figure out which format is the best ratio of file size and quality. Compressing videos is more of a art form then a science, sometimes different codecs will be more preferable with different videos.
So export out of premiere (or whatever software which you’ve created your video) in the best quality lossless (miminal compression) file. Quicktime animation is usually my favorite choice. This file will be extremely large because it has barely any compression, if any at all. This file is not for realtime viewing, just to be used as a master file to create compressed “delivery” files from. I hope this makes sense, if not feel free to ask anything you may not understand, and I’ll try my best to better explain 🙂

Are you talking about a RAM preview? AE is not like video editors, AE uses your RAM to create the preview. Once your RAM is filled, it stops and plays back. If you want a longer RAM preview then try adjusting the quality from “full” to “half” or “third”. This option is found on the bottom of the comp window. Try searching adobes help pages for RAM previews to read up on more info.

No you do not need any plug ins. The way I would create this is create a freeze frame in AE, bring it into photoshop, mess around with some of the different filters and effects. Then save the image and bring it back into AE and place it over the freeze frame. That’s it! No intense rotoscoping at all since its only a still frame which this effect is applied too. Just in photoshop (or AE if you don’t have photoshop) mask out around the character, apply filters ie cutout/threshold to name a few, and then tint the final image to your desired color/colors.

For most part no. There’s nothing you can do to completely eliminate it. Next time you shoot, turn the shutter speed up faster, the higher shutter speed the less motion blur, but also less light gets in and will make it darker.
