Can you duplicate the layer, use a mask to cut each instance in the middle, one left side and one right side, then use a Bezier or Mesh Warp to adjust the right side to match the left at the top?

From what I know it seems that the plugin only works in fast draft. So if you want to layer other elements to it, you need to render the buildings/boxes in fast draft mode with an alpha and then composite the rest after and render in full resolution mode.

You can try to duplicate the layer of the keyed footage with the lady with the hair light. On the top one apply a shrink matte filter and color correct the bottom one using Curves or Levels to darken the edges. Feather edge on the top layer to blend in with the bottom.

You can also play around with the Bad TV presets that come with AE

How are you exporting the videos to h264? Are you using the YouTube presets in Encoder? I would render to a CBR H264, with a high bitrate and upload – YT will re-compress that again anyway.
Also, how are you re-sizing the footage?
Do you scale in AE the 4K in a 1080 comp or are you rendering a 4k timeline to a 1080 output?This may be of use:

You’re on to something- the way to go is to film the university shot and then use the first frame to create the photo. The trick is to think the sequence all together and not just the 2 shots. Show a medium shot before of you/hand picking up the photo, then cut to the hand bringing the photo in the frame in a POV shot. It would be great if you can shoot this in a larger resolution (4k) and then do the zoom to the photo in post. You can either print out a photo using the first frame from the shot you’re going to use later, or for better control, shoot a cardboard with track points in the hand and then track and add the image on the card. Create the zoom to fit the frame of the photo with the frame of the composition and transition to the shot of the university. Some sort of color transition (more saturated colors in the photo to more natural colors in the video for example) will help.
The easier version would be to take a still shot of your hand with a card in it, put the still frame on the card, add zoom,slight camera shake and match grain in AE. This way you can tweak the shot as much as you want, and if you use 3d space for the 2d cards you can make use of focus shift, blur the background and generate parallax with a 3d camera travel into the picture instead of a zoom.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

I would go for the GTX 970m, no reason for the Quadro. Better get fast SSD drives than spend the extra on the Quadro.
Good resources:

Create elements on separate layers (words, lines, circles…etc), animate position and reveal with animated masks and /or Radial Wipe. That will create the animation in the video.
