Well I am all for helping and getting help LOL,just as soon as I get this crawl figured out,Thanks Ady,then I need someone to help me with masking in After Effects,for the subtitle parts.

I am working on the crawl right now,next up subs,so paging Dr Ady,paging Dr Ady,unless anyone else has done After Effect masking work.

Wow, you're overlaying the English Footage over the German footage to add the english subs. I was just going to splice everything together with AVISynth - is the English footage a noticable lower quality??

For After Effects the masking tool is on the tool bar, and then drag out the shape you want, or do a lassoo. This will add a mask layer to your composition which you can then, alter it's size and (I think) position with keyframes. There's a feather option as well if that is any help.
