Turn of multi-processor in preferences while working in the timeline. Turn them back on when rendering.
Try switching between Open GL and Adaptive resolution for your canvas display settings… see what works best on your machine.

If I understand correctly.
Place the masks on a solid. The tracking info on a null object. And parent the solid to the null object. Then use the solid as an alpha matte for the footage.

They are never pixel perfect. You always have to expand by a pixel or so. The part of your problem I couldn’t comment on is why you needed an expansion of seven pixels… seems like a lot.
Here is Why:
They are not pixel perfect because when you draw a mask it is a vector shape. The image being masked is comprised of pixels. No matter how far you zoom in your pixels will degrade but the mask will remain straight edged.
If you are using a circle mask it has to average the pixels it crosses when it renders, be it a RAM render, or a queued render.
Go into your same project… but make your mask a square rather than ellipse and I bet you a hundred bucks the edge difference goes away between the add and subtract layers. Try it.
I hope that makes sense.

Masking is fine. If u want to reveal only one letter at a time rather than a mask slowly revealing letters just move the mask shape using hold keyframes as the letters need to be revealed.

Always use zero on the number keypad section on the keyboard to preview… Dont use spacebar.
A screenshot of your render settings would help.

I would really have to see your project in detail to answer that question. Too many variables to guess why that was the case in your particular setup.
