To get the arrows to follow the shape of the body I can think of 2 ways:
1- 3d arrows following a path- Zaxwerks 3d Serpentine.
2- animate an arrow flow on a flat layer, precompose and distort in 3d to follow the shape of the body using Free Form or FreeForm Pro.

Apparently that part of the COW was not providing enough traffic/revenue, so no more income from the tutorials for the authors. I think that has something to do with it.

Trapcode Form – that’s my suggestion.

Eventually you will run into a limitation of the layer. My suggestion is to use a large precomp with a round feathered mask and animate a texture inside of it to move as the car moves.

Aaaah, see, it takes a clear mind to see the obvious – thanks Roland, maybe I should wait to give advice when I am not doing 20 things at the same time.

If you have a alpha channel you can not really control the opacity of it without using the method you mentioned. If you have a matte layer – separate as a black and white image- you can apply Levels on it and control the opacity by controlling the white level You can assign that as the alpha for your clip and control thus the transparency for the windows.
You can also duplicate the layer, invert the alpha channel, and control transparency this way.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

I don’t have time to play with it right now but I’m pretty sure you can taper the end
This guy can help though:

Can that “certain system” assign alpha to a clip from a matte render (black & white)? It sounds like it should based on the 10mb limitation.
