Best to use your longest text line first to set your speed, duplicate that layer and then replace the type. It will travel same speed and just set your out point for rendering to when the type leaves left frame. This will only work if your text is left justified to begin with. Let me know how it works…

Can you provide more info? Are there other layers in the comp that may affect the colours? What kind of footage file is it? Is your comp project settings at 8- or 16-bit per channel? Does the file have an alpha channel?

You could try using Shine to create rays of light coming from your traveling matte of the actor, set the color to black and play with the layer properties (overlay, multiply…) to get your “shadow”…

Thanks! I thought so. I did put it through AE, into a comp set to 720×480 anamorphic, shifting its position down 3 pixels in order to align it to the top of frame. Works like a charm. Keeping the original file at 864×486 will at least allow for output to digibeta in future…

You could also try stoke effect and animate the arrow head to follow the leader…

If there are no changes to the logo animation, why not just render to uncompressed QT or TGA sequence and use that as the source footage in your new series?

In many cases your RAM will chew up the QT file as you play with it in AE. The reason why Tiffs work nicely is that they are individual files and load into the cache frame by frame. The QT file loads the entire clip into RAM, so super large QT files will bog you down. I have taken QT files like these, rendered them out to TIFF or TGA uncompressed sequences, then used those as source files, instead of the QT… hope that helps!

You may need to confirm what the HD card is on the Avid and render to that codec. I have successfully rendered to Kona codec for HD Avid edit at another facility.
