I think you just need to move the text forward in z space a little because it’s likely occupying the same z space as the paper, AE doesn’t like that.

Gotchya. Ya, not sure of any plugins that do that in and of themselves.
Personally I prefer that I have full access to my texture as a layer, but if you feel its in the way, maybe you could shy it and hide the layer after its all parented and setup? I guess that’s not too much different from precomposing it though.

duplicate the layer, parent it to the original, use it as a trackmatte for the texture, and parent the texture to the original layer.

Click that toggle swithces/modes button at the bottom left of your timeline to reveal the blend mode option. It’s called “modes”

There are a couple of tricks going on there, but the main one is the use of track mattes.

This will remove anything that is unused in your project:

One way to make it more effective is to go in and replace any nulls or solids that are the same with just a single one. For example, if you only ever use 1 null per comp, just replace all the nulls with “null 1” and then run the script.

Since you’re doing scale, add the inertial bounce expression to only one layer (we’ll call it “layer1” in the example). Then add the expression below to all the other scale values. Shrink the the number in ‘time-1’ to shorten the delay or enlarge it to lengthen. Remember, if you click on the scale property after you’ve added the expression below, you can copy the expression and paste it to all the layers so you don’t have to manually go into each one.
thisComp.layer("layer1").transform.scale.valueAtTime(time-1)“|_ (°_0) _|”

That’s a little vague, but the most ideal situation would be to have the actor on a green screen so you could key them out and place them as you’d like. Then you would just drop in the background and animate the camera move. Do you already have footage you’re trying to do this with? It might not be a whole lot of help, but this could hold a little potential for you:

I’d use something like this, then precomp it, and use a time remap. This will use the initial value as an end point, and assign a random start point.
moveDuration = 1;
wiggleAmp = 100;
wiggleFreq = 3;seedRandom(index,true);
w = wiggle(wiggleFreq,wiggleAmp)-value;
startPos = random([thisComp.width,thisComp.height]);
ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+moveDur,startPos + w,value)“|_ (°_0) _|”
