The Canon HDSLR’s shoot h.264. h.264 is a GOP format structure. ProRes is an individual frame format. This lessens the load on the system, as GOP formats are processor intensive. It also makes renders and exports occur faster. That is why ProRes files are bigger. Hard Drive are super cheap.

I’ve used CHV’s Morph plug-in and it works good. It doesn’t cost that much as well. Check it out here: https://www.chv-plugins.com/cms/Fx-Script/Morph-collection/Morph-collection.php?navanchor=1010017

How you do it in AE should be very similar to how you do it in Motion. In a nutshell you just need to get your “book” broken into layers so each item can pop up out of the book. Before you animate each pop up item adjust its anchor point to say the bottom of the object if you want to adjust its rotation so it appears as if it is flat on the book and then rotates up. Its all about where you move the anchor point. Because it defaults to the center. Hope this helps and best of luck.

All of your content will be there. The thing you will lose is some of your text behaviors. You can always find a new behavior to replace the old one.

You can place the two diffent frame rates into one time line and FCP can handle it. For best results or if you don’t like the results use Compressor to convert the frame rate. Take a look at this article: https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/converting_frame_rates_compressor.html

Hope this helps and best of luck.
