  Here’s a link to an older tutorial that I think should get you going down the right path: Using Projection Layers to create a gobos and projector type effects.

  or you can just :
  – create a Layer,
  – Draw a Search type Mask, (Feather the mask or add Fast Blur)
  – Move the Anchor Point of the Layer were is needed, so that way the layer a.k.a search light will move as desire.
