Couple of techniques are used to create that effect. Graphically it’s not hard, one of the type-presets + a stroke to create the line + Glow.
The other thing is using the 3D camera tracker. Here’s a pretty good tutorial showing how to use the 3D tracker:

yes actually I am interesting about creating this text and line and which preset I have to use..
Although I’ve recognized 3D camera tracking here, thanks for links!

I made an example project and you can take a look at that.
For the line, I just created a solid(“Stroke”) and used the pen tool to make a straight line and added the Generate > Stroke effect and keyframed the “end”.
To make the ball at the end of the line, I created a black solid, changed it’s transfer mode to “Add” and added the Generate > Lens Flare effect. I copied the mask path from “Stroke” and pasted that data on to the Flare Center. I then matched up the keyframes so that it would move with the stroke. Lastly I animated the Flare brightness.
For the text, I had to do this with 2 layers. For the first layer, I just did all the text except for the “]”. I used the preset Animate In > Fade Up Characters. Then I made a text layer of just the “]” and keyframed the opacity and position so it looked like it was racing ahead of the text that was fading up.
To match your example, I would precompose everything. Camera track the video, create a null point and parent my text precomp to that null.
Here’s my example project, hope it gives you a good starting point: 5545_stroke.aep.zip
