Can you precompose that particular layer? If so, try and do a test to see if the same things happens.

With any compression you loose information, so you will loose some of the color info. The shots are not that different for editing or graphics work. If you want to color grade or work on some visual effects you should work on the best quality of material you have anyway.

You can try using a second particle generator or use a distortion technique like in this tutorial:

Layer > Transform > Auto-Orient – Orient Towards Camera
This will keep the text layers always facing the cameraTudor “Ted” Jelescu

It seems to me that Trapcode Form may be a better tool to achieve what you’re after.

If you can afford it go for it- it does that what you want and more!

I would try to render out the particles on black, use Levels to isolate the brightest particles and then apply Trapcode Starglow to create the sparkle effect.

Plexus is the easier way- that’s for sure, but if you do not have the extra budget you can always do this by building the whole ensemble with 3d layers. I did this before I got Plexus, granted on a lesser number of words. I built a line on a 2d layer with a wipe transition to animate the reveal. Turned the layer 3d and set the anchor point at the right end of the line. I the positioned the end to the edge of my background 3d element and rotate the line to position in 3d space for the first word. The 3d text layer was then positioned at the end of the line using the 3d views. From here it was just a matter of duplicating and re-positioning the lines and text, and offsetting the reveal animation.

One quick fix would be to buy a usb Num Keypad that adds that functionality to your laptop- it’s a few bucks only.

AE has a bunch of preset animations that give you the option to adjust the starting and ending point by moving the keyframes of the Range. There are presets for Text Animate In and Animate Out. It’s a quick drag and drop and then just sliding the keyframes.
