AE Guru? Video through river of images...

MAKE SOMEONE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE SINGING THROUGH A COMPUTER AND INTERNET WEBSITES...

Ok, wow I dont know how to title this one. Liked that? This is a big question really but I cant figure out how to do it right. I am running the Adobe Video Produciton Suite (everything) and planning on shooting a music video where tons of green screen rap shots are blended in with an environment that is mostly motion graphics of websites we are rapping on as well as videos we are in and a computer rapping through files and what not. I got my green screen footage, got my images (mostly) and I also have a few videos to play as well.

I try to sync all the video to the audio in premiere pro and edit everything in there besides having the green screen comps from AE dynamiclly linked in premiere.

But I cant find the best way to do this. What I really want to do is get all these videos synced to the actual song and be able to pick through them and place them in the motion environment with cameras moving through one huge comp? But I bet that would be a hog on the pc...

Anyone ever created this before and can tell me some tips? How about people that just have some ideas on how they would accomplish it?

Thanks in advance!

take each video and synch it and render it out seperately for using in your comps. then prererender each seperate environments comp, and then just arrange that as solid footage in AE within your 3d space to fly through.

..so to be more specific, just take each clip your going to use in the final vieo and synch it in PPRO or audition. then export seperate videos that are presynched. then use PS to make you website or whatever and import the layers or single flattened layer with alpa channel into AE and position your previously synched and rendered video into the web video player or whatnot.. then do the same with the tvs or whatever else it will be playing on in different seperate comps. render out each comp with audio, and then pull all the seperate individual renders of each environment into one singular comp in 3d space with audio. it should be a relatively easy final render then pending on what your doing from there.
