I’m pretty sure you can’t go back to the old way without going back to a previous version. You can, of course, uncheck the audio icon in the Preview settings.
But then you won’t hear it at the correct speed, either.
Or check the Cache Before Playback box.

Audio slowing down rather than cutting out is considered a fix of the stutter and dropout problem. So stock up on holy water.

There is a difference matte effect in Premiere. I haven’t used it in Premiere, but I assume it works more or less the same as the one in AE.

You can roto the silhouette, of course, but that’s a pain…
But if you have a frame without the person in it to use as a clean plate, you could grab that frame, then use the Difference Matte effect to cut out the moving object and reveal a layer underneath with your red effect applied.

With a simple setup it may be easier to just move the layers. Or even just scale and rotate the layers to fake movement.
But to get that feeling of 3D space in your example, I think you would need to lay out the layers and fly the camera around.

What you have there is many, many cut-out photos and text layers arranged in 3D space with complicated camera moves transitioning between them. The basic concept is simple, but this is a complex example, a lot of work to plan and set up.
And there also seems to be some vignettes and directional blur involved.
If you are unfamiliar with cameras and 3D layers, here’s a basic tutorial: https://after-effects.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-3d-layers-and-animate-cameras-after-effects-343431/
And you might want to look at the MonkeyCam plug-in. https://aescripts.com/monkeycam-pro/

I’ve done one short test and was unable to get a track to work. But that may have been because there just weren’t enough frames for the amount of motion (I rushed it and made the space between shots pretty long).
I’ll give it another try…….

I haven’t actually done this, but I understand that some people include several empty layers in their AI files…just in case. Then if something has to be added, you add it to the already existing empty layer and the file will update in AE.

I’m not sure I’m clear on what you’re trying to do, but consider using a masked solid as a track matte instead of a mask on the layer you’re animating.
