Zorro, the Layer Tagger is a good choice for a script which allows you to group:

Michael has a good point – unless you were a master expression creator, and could link the size of one word inversely to the sizes of those around it (and even this wouldn’t work well, given that the Wordle layout is a static puzzle, so to speak), the result would be chaotic. I suppose you could create a grid layout, tied to the maximum possible size of each word, and then size each word to match the VO timing, then hand animate every single word lying around all the other words, you might get there. But it would take an immense amount of time and effort.
I think you’re better off rethinking this, and possible creating the Wordle layout, then using nulls on the words you want to highlight, then using something like VideoCopilot’s Sure Target 2 to zoom in on the words, rather than animating the words themselves. This would achieve the same purpose, without the massive amount of work. You can see an example of this in my short demo (Demo 2014), towards the end, at:

I used SureTarget 2, and nulls placed where I wanted the camera to move to. It was fast to set up, and it’s easy to time. Just make sure you go through the SureTarget 2 demos before you just jump in and try it. It’s easy after you’ve learned how to use it.

These are created with Wordle:
I believe it will let you save it as a PDF, which will give you the option of importing it into AE. I don’t think you can bring it in as layers, but I don’t remember – if not, you can always open in Photoshop and cut the piece into layers. The heavy work will have been done by Wordle.

Well – you definitely need Element 3D for the template to work, but I own Element 3D and have never seen any reference to “logo control”. You would have the best chance of a solution by contacting the person who authored the template on Videohive. There’s a help file included with the project – maybe there’s something in there.

We tried this at the broadcast station I used to work at with both fonts and plugins. This was several years ago, so it might work better now, but it slowed things to a crawl (this was on a PC network by the way). Of course, as Walter says, there’s also the issue of possible registration conflicts, since some AE plugins get tied to particular machines. I know that with network rendering, you have to have plugins installed on each machine which is a node on the render network – so something tells me this will be an exercise in futility. Worth a try though…

One way to do this would be to paste the illustrator path into AE, then, to get your dots, choose a typeface with a round period character. Type your text, tweaking the kerning to your taste, then paste the path in, and choose Path Options in the Text layer, then your path. You can continue tweaking the text as needed. I use this all the time for animated dotted lines. It’s a workaround, but it would work. Just make sure your path is in the text layer…

And here’s a very nice, in depth comparison of Kodak 35mm film vs the Canon C500:

The fade could be done with a wipe transition that has quite a bit of feathering on it. From the example, it looks like it was done in After Effects using a variation on one of the text animation presets, then sent over to PPro with an alpha channel.

As far a sound deadening goes, it partly depends on the problem – you could certainly purchase some professional looking acoustic foam from a place like the Foam Factory:

You can also get some really good looking, very cheap foam on *mazon:

You can also get egg crate type foam cheap on *Bay. But it helps to know what sound reflections are causing the problem. Depending on the size and shape of your studio, baffles might be a solution. Here’s a pretty good education on acoustic treatment:

Since you don’t say what version of PPro CC you’re using, it’s tough to figure out if the “bug” you’re talking about is one which has been fixed. Here’s a discussion of the issue, which seems to have appeared with PPro 7.1:
