Thanks for the nice comments.
Everything was done in Liquid no extra plugins, I don't have any so I really have to rely on the filters.
The 0:7 pip was done with three clips of the speaker cropped at different points from right and left sides. I got it from a toturial for after effects on either videocopilot.net or creative cow. You can pick up alot just by watching these.
I will try the other suggestions as soon as I get a chance. I didn't put the names of the speakers only because it was a in house promo but really they should be on there.
