You’d have to get really creative with the liquify effect.

You will definitely be doing either a lot of keying or a lot of rotoscoping.
I’d think you could use CC Vector Blur on the clip of the person using the vectors from the bg footage, but that may not be what you had in mind.

Try the public beta of After Effects. I know they fixed some issues in there with varying screen sizes. I don’t recall if cursors were part of that. If not, file a bug on the After Effects UserVoice.

Lately, I’ve done a lot less of that and a lot more refining the idea of what I want with filters on Adobe Fonts and then just installing whatever font I liked (for free, since it’s included in my subscription).
That said, there is NexusFont which I used to use. It’s free and fast.

As to portfolio sites, your Adobe subscription includes access to Adobe Portfolio. It’s what I built my site with http://www.szalamproductions.com but you can get way crazier with Adobe Portfolio design than I did. I just threw it together pretty quick.
As to stock sites, there are a bunch of places that offer free stuff. Projector Films offers some free light leaks. Rocket Stock/Premium Beat has a pretty wide variety of free things. Action VFX has a bunch of free resources for visual effects stuff. And Pexels is just general stock video for free.

Thanks, Jim!
You can use the volume builder and volume mesher to make a voxel landscape. Then you’d just use cloners to make the stairs and a either a spline wrap or a sweep object to make the ramping part.

I can’t see the images you tried to upload.

Even if you don’t replace the entire plate, you could use tracking data to put on a fixed thing.
Alternatively, you could use AE’s relatively new Content Aware Fill for Video.
And, if you’re on the latest version of AE, it even has light changing! Read more here: Use content-aware fill to remove unwanted objects from your video (adobe.com)

If the camera is sitting on a tripod, there is no parallax movement. Therefore, the 3d Camera Tracker (which uses parallax movement to solve a shot) doesn’t really have the info to work with. That’s likely why you’re not getting good solves.
DEFINITELY go with Mocha AE (or even AE’s point tracker). They’re intended for this sort of thing. And, yes, transcoding to ProRes first is going to make everything go more smoothly in AE.

Yeah, it just duplicates the selected layer(s) and links all of the properties of copies to the originals with expressions.
