I think it’s mostly AE text rotating with some subsequent parented to it. I don’t think there’s much pre-comping seeing how the parented scaled text would act accordingly.
Hope this helps,

Are you working in Draft Mode? Or is Motion Blur activated? Usually it’s okay, but with more complex files it sometimes takes a bit of time to update. Also, Motion Blur will really slow down previews. If it’s slow WITHIN the edit window, then somethings wrong.
Hope this helps,

Or, add a drop shadow that’s yellow or white with no distance and a lot of softness. If it’s not strong enough, just duplicate the effect….
hope this helps,

Nate,
For your first AE animation I was pretty impressed… It looked good to me. I couldn’t tell if you blended layers with Transfer Modes (it didn’t look like it); but i would experiment with those a bit…
Keep playin,’

Go into Photoshop and create a transparent document the size of your screen (720 x 540 for example)… Actually make it a little larger than your screen. Google some (large images) brushed steel and place it in the document. Make a new layer and use the ‘Rounded Rectangle Tool’ (U key… Shift U till you select it). Create your rounded box on the new empty layer. Command-select the layer in the Layers palette to select the outline (marching ants) of the box. Throw away the rounded box layer and then delete this selection from the brushed metal background. This will leave a the rounded rectangle hole showing the transparent checkerboard. Double-click the layer and add a bevel to it (it will also bevel the outer edges of the document – that’s why we make it a bit larger). Bring this document in AE and place your video underneath it. Add a drop shadow to the brushed metal layer.
Hope this helps,
