Re: Need some help creating an effect for a school project

Yes, After Effects can do this.

The gist of the job is that you will want to track the motion of the cards onto which you are placing the video and then apply that motion-tracking data to layers for each of the YouTube videos.

You'll almost certainly be doing some masking/rotoscoping, too---such as to prevent the fingers that are holding the card from being covered up by an embedded video layer. (Though you may be able to use cards of a distinctive color, like green, and use color keying to avoid most of the tedious masking/rotoscoping.)
