You don't need digital anything. There are many more practical ways to do what was done. For example:
The jolts that opened and closed the door were short and strong. You can tell this because the closet door slows down as it opens or closes. Had it been a steady hand of sorts, it wouldn't have accelerated / decelerated like that. I didn't see any strings so a "practical" way of doing it would have been to simply hide behind the wall where the door hinges are, and press (and pull) the door open and closed.
The Paper Towel trick is easy. You will notice that the far-end of the paper towels is off the edge of the table. Someone or something behind the table and out of camera shot, only has to pull down hard on that end of the paper towel to make it spin. The force of the spin would bring the paper towels up and towards the couch.
As for the dogs, you cannot see what they are reacting to because whatever it is is behind the camera. The owner could have used a dog whistle or any other very high frequency device that the dogs could hear (and puzzle over) that the camera microphone would not.
The only thing worse than the idiots who make these videos to pass off as "Real" are the people who believe them. Be a skeptical thinker.
