Help modifying an MP4 or MPEG-2 File

Question

Hello - I just got After Effects so bear with me... I am a member of StoryBlocks and downloaded a video - link attached - I also attached the video file. What I would like to do is replace the text on this file - "Future" - How do I do this? Alternatively, how could I make the text appear as part of the road (i.e. copy the road background over the text)?

Thank you -- Michael Story Block Question Mark Video

Nothing to fix because a) this is a pretty shoddy CG-based file to begin with and b) removing the word would be much more work then just re-creating it in whatever 3D program from scratch. And there you have it. This has nothing to do with AE. You need to go back to a 3D program if you want this exact look. Otherwise there are of course ways to create something similar in AE using masks, shape layers, text, pre-composing and some basic effects, but you still need to find a decent road texture/ clip first. This terrible wannabe 3D thing is of no use to anyone.
