Re: Floating mouth effect?

[Rachel Adams] "i was keen on flash or after effects to make vector shapes rather than raster) so I could keep the quality up. "

Sorry, but that won't be possible, I'm afraid. If you want to maintain vector shapes, you have to START with vector shapes. All video is bitmapped, and there is no way to turn it into vector. Even the video in flash files is bitmapped.

So it's time to describe the nature of this video you're working with. Where did it come from? How was it recorded? What's its horizontal and vertical resolution? What kind of codec was the video encoded to?

And you also need to know up front what you're supposed to deliver. Screen size can be irrelevant. For example, you can play a DVD on a 23-inch Sony, and you can play a DVD through a video projector onto the side of a house. In either case, the image is 720x480 pixels in NTSC-Land.

Oh: to identify a codec or H&V resolution, import the video into AE. Highlight the footage in the project window. Read what it says at the top of the window about the footage.
