Ah, you didn’t mention that you had the Duck with you. I’ve not done this before so I can’t give you a first-hand account.
But you can and should check at the Duck’s COW Forum here

As always, perform a test with a few clips of differing durations and at different sections of the timeline.

Look for CC ScaleWipe. The compression artefacts are quite bad so I can’t really tell if Trapcode’s Shine was used. But CC Scale Wipe should be fine.

Can the After Effects Team do something about the crap support from the ASN Partner team? Some tyrant-wannabe a–hole took off my profile from Training Partner Finder without my knowledge after I wanted to change my PERSONAL profile.
This a–hole is screwing around with my ability to make a decent living, traning folks in AE.
Sorry for the OT rant but this just happened today and I am totally boiling cos’ this isn’t the first time that I’ve been screwed or undermined deliberately by this tyrant and his team’s actions.
It’s rather sad to have a great product undermined by a devilish support team that acts like a tyrant.

There are a few at Trapcode.com. There are also a few here at the COW. Just do a Search at the COW Tutorial section.

Don’t worry too much with color profiles. Just know that you can mix different color profiles within a single composition and render to a totally different color profile. If you like this sort of thing, then look into AE’s color management tools, which is more useful to understand.
Are you outputting to an Alcorn-McBride device for playback of the MPEG-2? If you are then take note that I’ve managed to render to their specs. from within AE. Just give them what you have, perhaps even a 10-second segment to test.
BTW, how do you look at the profile settings for the MPEG-2 file after a render?

Perhaps you’ve been working at 1440×1080. Just to make sure your workflow works, send a 5-second test file for playback onto a broadcast monitor.

Standard Definition MPEG-2 profiles are 4:2:0. High-Definition MPEG-2 profiles allow for 4:2:2 profiles.
Profiles are not equivalent to chroma. Although you are right in that profiles are analogous to video sampling.
I believe that the settings may be querky.
What exactly were the specs that your client requested?
And you don’t need to shoot at 4:2:2 to output to 4:2:2.

Apologies for overlooking your post. I have a sense that you have not switched off the eyeball for this gray solid.
I’ve not done this tutorial but I’m quite certain that the grayscale layer/precomp is used as a displacement map. If so, it’s visibility should be switched off.
If all this is true, then it is advisable that you look into working with a more structured learning experience with AE. It will be more rewarding in the long-run.
Take a look at the Meyer’s books for a comprehensive, yet inexpensive option towards learning AE. That’s where most of us started and many of us are still hooked on their books.

Use the front layer as an inverted matte for the reflection.
