If the noise pattern originates in Illustrator – are you able to rasterize the noise layer before importing to After Effects?
Otherwise it should be easy to recreate this look entirely in After Effects using a track matte, without any messy tiling issues.

I just tried it and it works for me. Check your spelling, make sure there a no extra spaces between words etc.
It must match EXACTLY what is in the After Effects menu. AND you must modify After Effects Preferences by un-checking “Use System Shortcut Keys” in General Preferences.

You need to enter the menu *exactly* as it is written in After Effects. Here is the Replace Footage > File… command.

Are you sure you selected the app before modifying the keyboard shortcuts?

One other method of changing keyboard shortcuts on a Mac is to use the System Preferences for the Keyboard. I’ve added several shortcuts for items that don’t have them.

You might try a free preset from Mattrunks called AmorType.

Modify the first animator to 90 degrees X rotation and adjust the anchor point grouping alignment to -100%.
It looks like the Fraser Davidson example is not fading in but responding to a light in the scene.

Good thinking Darby. Great solution.

Of course if you’re doing shape layer extrusion you can turn the layer around 180 degrees on the Y axis to achieve the look you want.
If you are working with text extrusion to keep the letter forms oriented correctly you’d need to convert them to shapes and flip the resulting shape layer horizontally before doing the extrusion.
That will push the extrusion towards the viewer.

More information would be helpful.
FIrst what sort of file are you importing?
Second, tell us about your computer and operating system. (Processor, RAM, video card, Windows/Mac OS version).
Third tell us what version of After Effects. (Have you installed all the updates?)
Perhaps then someone could try to determine the problem.
