    Create two solids. The bottom will be your stencil and final painted image, the top will be the spray paint. Create a mask the shape of our stencil. Duplicate the layer and change the mask mode to subtract. The subtract layer is your stencil and the add layer is your resulting painted image. You probably want to change the color of the stencil solid. On the third solid layer above use the Paint tool (set to the color of your painted image. In the paint panel set duration to write on use a feathered brush and cover your stencil with paint. In the Effects panel Check the paint on transparent box. Pre comp the paint and stencil layers. Pull back the stencil/paint comp to reveal the final image. (add a little paint drip with the paint tool).

    Hope that’s what you were looking for.

    Premiere and After Effects work together. You can cut and paste from Premiere to After Effects. Design your lower third in After Effects and render out the lower third. In the render queue, to the right of the words Output Module is a dropdown menu. Choose Lossless with Alpha. You will either get an avi or a quicktime movie depending on your platform. ‘
    A great tutorial (if you got the bucks) is Steve Holmes’ Edit to Output’ from Total Training. It has a whole section on lower third creation AE/Premiere.

    You can make your universe size smaller. You can also play with zoom.

    I think what you want to do is change the Shape (in Animator 1 > Range Selector > Advanced > Shape) to Ramp Up from Ramp Down and then switch the Range selector Offset keyframes.

    I’ve done similar but haven’t tried it with motion tracking. I got decent results.
    Render out the stopped frame to a photoshop file, crop it there and import it layer size. That way you won’t have to scale, and its easier on your processer. You will still have to color correct but you’ll want to create some light glints and shadows anyway.

    You can get an approximation with a combination of Foam and blending modes.
