Of course, there are probably better ways to do this in After Effects, but this is the low-tech solution.

Ha, that’s the exact method I used though, but in After Effects. One difference is I could motion track some shots instead of manually moving things around. But I had to manually move many things too. Also I used masks and morphing and stuff, but the basics are the same.

About the key frames, instead of doing every other frame or every single frame I would recommend a different method. First do the first and the last frame. Then do the middle frame. Then do the frames in the middle of the gaps, and so on. Play back the sequence from time to time and adjust/add key frames where needed. Only do as many frames as are necessary to make the motion smooth and accurate. If you do every frame you might end up with a very jittery motion.
