Does step mean, it jumps 6 degrees or is it moving the entire second?

Open your project, double click one of the missing files, this will open up a browser, navigate to your file location and select the proper file. At this point AE, should find all the missing files.

I did a stabilize on the sign in the background on the last few seconds, it appears more stable at least. The distortion, I have no idea how to removed that though.
Here’s my quick effort: 8082_stabilize.aep.zip

In your picture, that may have been achieved in 2 ways. One, it looks to be a particle emitter(or multiple emmitters), all it would take is setting the initial color and then having it change to white over time.
Another method would be to place a adjustment layer over the video, with a black and white color effect applied. Then mask the adjustment layer halfway across the screen and play with the horizontal feather property.
And if there is anyway possible, could someone teach me how the color can follow the moving object and make the whole screen in colors while the moving object moves in/across the scene?
Here’s one way you could do it(i’m sure there are many others) Let’s use a car moving across the screen. You would drop your video into a composition, and duplicate it. On the bottom layer, you would add the Black&White effect. The top layer, you would need to mask/rotoscope the car as it moves across the screen, and use that as wipe revealing the color layer. This type of effect works best if you have an object that that stretches from top to bottom if it’s moving horizontally, left to right if moving vertically. Then you just have to mask the front edge as it moves across the screen, then just having the mask eventually fill the entire screen.
I made a simple project illustrating the basics of the techniques: 8078_wipefolder.zip

Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I messed around by creating 2 layers, one for the video, one for the mirror. Added Shatter to the mirror layer, then played with the internal camera system to position & rotate the mirror layer about where it would need to be. Then I moved the shatter force to behind the mirror and shape origin position. Animate the force and done.
You could also play with the Gravity Direction/inclination also to help sell the effect. Here’s my work project if it helps.

Other than using Plexus 2, I know of know way to do this in AE that wouldn’t be incredibly time-consuming. Time vs Cost benefit, if I had to do this I’d drop the 200 bucks on plexus.

Have your generic background be layer 1, layer 2 will be the final video. In this video, it’s probably just some generic circle wipe, but if you wanted to use another shape, place it over the Generic Background. Set the generic backgrounds track matte to “alpha inverted” and then use keyframe scale to ‘wipe’ the effect…0% to 200%(whatever you need)

It looks like Plexus 2 to me, what free script did you get?

If you have trapcode particular, you could set up each line/word of text as a custom particle, then set up a grid effect that you animate, then play backwards.
