When you use the center content command it takes into account the pixels used. The word “respiratory” has used pixels jutting both up (the dot in the letter “i”) and down (the “p” and “y”) from the main body of the text, but diabetes only has pixels jutting up. Since the amount of pixels in the y axis differs, the center point differs.
If you want to keep all text in the same place, reset the anchor point and position, and instead change the baseline shift to center the text visually. You can then use these same settings for future text objects.

Responding to this mostly to see what other people say. Although Premiere touts its ability to manage AAFs and MXF files, I’ve noticed some serious issues using native avid op-atom mxf files, and haven’t been able to figure out a good workaround. Premiere reads them and plays them back just fine, but doesn’t recognize the timecode. It always gives clips a starting timecode of 00:00:00:00 for us, which makes it useless for reconnecting (and which is most likely what you’re running into). Embedded AAF files generally don’t work for this reason either.
If no-one else has any tips, I would suggest sending a feature request (or Bug report, or both!) to Adobe so that they will know that it is an issue that multiple editors are struggling with. I’ve sent in multiple requests, and even got a response from the engineering team last year, so I have to hope it’s on the docket for an upcoming release as long as people keep the pressure on.
Here’s the feature request/bug report link:

There’s no way to do this as far as I know, and it seriously hampers my use of the Media Browser as well.
Not particularly helpful in the short term, but if you send a feature request then hopefully Adobe will address this in future versions (I’ve also sent in feature requests, and the more people that do makes it more likely that the Adobe folks notice that it’s something they need to work on).

Are you using a shape layer for the line? I had the same issue with a path drawn in a shape layer in one of my projects. I rendered the project out with an older version of After Effects to get rid of it and sent a bug report off to Adobe. I’d suggest you do the same, as the more people send bug reports the more likely they are to get pushed to the top of the bug fix queue.

You’ve got Draft 3D turned on (That icon right above your timeline with an asterisk next to the 3d box). This disables lights, shadows, and depth of field for cameras.

Looks like you have collapse transformations (continuously rasterize) on. If you do that you need to make sure that the objects within the various precomps also have motion blur turned on (or 3d or what have you).

The True Comp Duplicator script from aescripts will help with making new sequences and precomps, although I don’t think it will replace the photoshop files and VO for you.

Definitely cuts down on a lot of repetition for me!
edit: whoops, I’m in the wrong forum, this is for after effects….but it might help you if after effects is ever part of that workflow
