Looks like there’s an effect(CC Cross Blur-in the Lose DV Highlights comp) that will be missing-going from CS6 to 5, but it seems that most of the look is retained.

If you duplicated precomp 2, 36 times, you need to also need 36 duplicates of precomp 1 and replace each instance of precomp 1 with the new duplicate in the precomp 2 duplicates.

So you have Precomp 2-1, should have Precomp1-1 in it.
Precomp 2-2, Precomp 1-2
Precomp 2-3, Precomp 1-3 and so on.

This is one of those projects where for me to help, I’d need to see what’s happening. If it’s not a problem, can you upload the .aep file and I’ll take a look at what’s happening—no need for the assets, just need to see what’s happening with the keyframes(use the last icon in the reply dialogue). I’m on my home system, so it needs to be in a CS6 or earlier version.

I think you will find it easier to control your particles if you use a light as an emitter(first step). Turn the velocity of the particles to 0. That will get them to follow the line a lot more closely, you can also turn the velocity from motion to 0. Then to get the particles to fall to the floor, just open up the physics property and increase the gravity effecting the particles.

Check out these tutorials on creating light streaks—you can modify the techniques for creating your line particles. Light Streaks

Here’s a real simple project I made illustrating the line/gravity technique: 6832_particles.aep.zip

Me, I’d just open up particular and grab the emitter position and move it to where it needs to go.

What happened is that the position of say 160,160 for 720 comp is different than it would be in a 1080 comp and that doesn’t update. I’m sure there is a mathematical way to re-position it so it would be in exact same spot, but that’s a little beyond me. If you absolutely need that though, ask in the expressions forum, Kevin or Dan could probably work something out for you.

Do you press the continuous rasterization(looks like a sunburst) button for the logo, cause that should scale up without a problem.

If there aren’t any assets(jpegs,video) that are 720, then try this script. Recursive Scale
