Help on creating transition effect

[Steve Roberts]

Well, it looks like two layers:

1. the glow-spot: aim a 3D spot on something, adjust its shape and position, animate its intensity.
2. the text: animate blurry-to-sharp, possibly with the simple choker effect animated as well.

Trapcode’s Shine might have been used at default colour, 0 ray length, but you might get by the the stock Glow effect. You could probably also render the glow-spot, import it and use the same render for each title.

Very simple … but know that most good effects involve multiple effects, possibly multiple layers.

To me it looks like they created a white layer and drew a circular mask. Kicked up the feather and applied glow. Im sure cc toner was used to create the golding highlight. Scale the mask up until it white out the screen on frame 1 (press mask shape, mask scale, and mask position stopwatch). Move the curser down timeline. Scale the mask down until it dissapears (make sure to move it where you want it to retract to.). Press play and you should have it. As a side note, make the white layer twice as large as the comp size. It will help with the masking.

Can you elaborate on how to create it from scratch…with a bit more detail??

Thanks
