How Do I make Text Shine?

[Peter Wiggins]

Rubberducker,

There are a few ways of doing this

here is the harder but cheaper way

1) Duplicate the text layer
2) move the duplicate above the original and apply a glow filter
3) draw a shape equal to that of the size you want highlighed – add a blur if you want a soft edge
4) Add an image mask to the dupicate layer and drop the shape into the well

or if you would like a 15 day free trial of my Volumetrix filter that also does glow write-ons & highlights go here

More of those real time plug-ins for Motion, please. 🙂

We are working on one now 🙂

Problem is because we are using new technology from Apple, we end up finding all the bugs too 🙁
Some of the things we would like to do that are a great idea and seem easy are limited by how FxPlug is implemented.

If you want to know more, come and say hello on the Noise Industries at NAB
