Well, it’s not really an image sequence you’re going to be working with. It’s more like sequence of images;) In an Image Sequence, you don’t get access to the individual images as self-contained units.
I think you’ll have to import a folder containing the individual files, then select them all and drop them in the timeline. Activate the 3d switch for all, then apply an expression to the second image layer down in the stack that tells it to look at the z position of the previous layer and add to that value by (variable). And that variable should look at a null object for its value, so you can adjust it on the fly. Then paste that expression to the rest of the layers.
Here’s one such expression:
Basic, but no curvature. I think this one will do you a treat:

Not sure if those last two can work in concert, but certainly worth investigating.

See what kind of results you can get by tweaking the controls of a Luma Key.

I just wanted to make sure you weren’t using an incompatible codec.
All sorts of anomalies can pop up with interframe compression in AE.A screenshot would really be helpful.
-
Sorry, I misread your post. That’s an odd issue. Just out of curiosity, what codec did you render the underlying layer to?
Also, could you post a screenshot of your user interface, showing the problem, as well as your layers, etc.?
-
Very cool. Thanks for thinking this one through and sharing your technique.

You mean Color Finesse, don’t you?
Isn’t Color an app by that Pear Bartlett company?)
Seriously, though, that’s just a simple desaturation, methinks.

You were correct to create a camera. The camera is much easier to control with a “camera rig”, a set of Nulls which give you easier control over camera motion.
There is an excellent one here:https://hypoly.com/blog/simple-camera-rig-script/
And yes I do think this is the best way to accomplish what you’re after.
-
Sounds like you would benefit from the use of a Null object.

You want the camera to HOLD. How about using a HOLD Keyframe?

The code monkeys (cows?) tend to hang out more in the Expressions Forum. Give them a holler.
