Do you mean a video that you have rendered out lags? Or do you mean when you press the spacebar to preview it, it lags?

I have no experience with it, but you might try asking in the magic bullet forum.

Also, the manual that came with your download should explain a lot.– The Great Szalam

If you want to make a video unfold in After Effects you are a little limited on what you can do, but you can still make it work. It depends on how complex you want to make it.
In AE there are normally several ways to achieve the same goal. I would thing the simplest solution would be to duplicate the layer you want to fold. Mask the bottom half of one copy and the top half of the other copy. Move the anchor points for each layer to the edge of the mask so the anchor points are practically touching. The keyframe x rotation. That gets you a basic fold.
Then comes the spicing it up. Put a null layer at the bottom of the image. Parent both pieces to the null and keyframe the null’s x rotation. That way it flips up as it unfolds.
This should put you on the right road to unfolding things in AE. You can make it much more complicated by having more than two pieces and the use of some clever parenting.Or you can do it in Cinema4d.

What Dave said.
If you’re more in the mood to create something yourself without starting from the presets, you can always start with fractal noise. It’s one of the most powerful effects that come with AE.– The Great Szalam

Right below the video you posted people ask him about his video and he explains a lot of how it was done.
Lots of Particular, a bit of Form, some Shine, lots of footage shot of ink in water, and a lot of work.
“Particular was definitely my weapon of choice, I think there isn’t a scene without it. For example all the spherical objects (beat) or the final light tail in space is particular. Form is used as the bottom of the ocean or the cloud layer with the wall of light at the end…The ink paths are actually black water colors pouring down on wet paper laid on glass and shot on camera. Then positioned and warped and timed accordingly to the music…The explosions are again shot on camera. Looking at one side of an aquarium filled with black water (lots of ink in it) and then I almost hit the glass from inside with a brush dipped in white color. The fast movement towards and back from the glass makes that kind of “explosion” effect in the water.”

Dave’s got a clever idea; make all of the layers 3d layers, except the background. Then all you have to do is add a light.

Roland is correct. This is a rather easy effect to emulate since AE’s 3d is essentially flat planes in space – it just takes some time, work and planning to make it look good.
Yes; they used a 3d application to do that piece – you couldn’t get something identical to theirs without some actual 3d software. However, like Roland said, you can get a look similar enough to it. It’s just a lot of well planned camera movement and carefully placed elements.– The Great Szalam

VGA can have a much higher resolution than DVD or S-Video. VGA is, in effect a computer monitor; it depends on the quality of the video card in the laptop. Of course, if he’s going through some sort of VGA to SCART conversion then he’s back to standard def.

Yes. There’s a live preview button that you can turn on/off.
I’m not in front of my AE machine at the moment, or I could find it in a heartbeat and tell you where it is. Check the help files or search the forums. This question has been asked numerous times.– The Great Szalam

Many people aren’t going to download a .rar file. For one thing, many people can’t uncompress it, and for another thing could be a security risk.
Try showing a YouTube link or something.– The Great Szalam
