June 21, 2010 at 11:04 pmIt sounds like you just want to animate the glow radius and/or intensity up and back down. You could also use a radial shadow and animate its softness and distance. There are lots of other ways to make things glow in AE, which gets back to Michael’s point that it depends on the look you’re going for.
