    Hi

    I’m a newbe and can’t figure out how to make the light with the text in the first four seconds of this video.

    Anyone who has an idea of how i can do it?
    It might be easy, but maybe I just can’t see the forrest for trees.
    I will be so greatfull 🙂

    It could have been made in a 3D app, but it looks very similar to a technique used by Andrew Kramer in this tutorial, Ancient Titles

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    Maybe i was a little vague about what light i was talking about.
    – buy it’s the glimpse of light in the bottom of the text.

    BTW nice tutrial you sent me – thanks for that one! 😀

    Got it, that’s a lens flare, and strangely enough, probably made from company who made the tutorial I just linked.

    VideoCopilot Optical Flares

    Here’s a link to a tutorial for creating lens flares without plugins,

    If you google, you will find other free lens flare tutorials that can help you achieve different looks.
