  Newbie question on CC Ligh Sweep

  Posted by Robert Schuetter on July 13, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  New to AE. Quick question…I wanted to have 2 light sweeps across some text in the same direciton. I understand how to set the keyframe at one side, move forward in time and set it at the other side, but how do I get it back to the starting point without it animating the light sweep backwards? I have a lightsweep right now that goes back and forth, I want it to go twice in one direction.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks

  I wouldnt keyframe it. Simply duplicate your layer with the sweep and offset it to whenever you want it to begin.

  I would just add another instance of the CC Light Sweep effect to the layer.
