    Hello everyone,
    i´m having some difficulties in recreating the effect we can see in the pics.
    I´m using trapcode shine and the result is good but i´m not been able to recreate it.
    Can someone give me a hint? Is it with masks?
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Yes. Put a copy of your text in another composition. Animate a mask or a wipe moving across it. Place that precomp in your main comp and apply the shine to the precomp.

    Did that make sense?

    Hey Vitor, the answer you seek is right on that site… Andrew Kramer does a whole tutorial on the disintegration effect which he has used on that title… he even mentions in the blog post that he has used it – i hope you’re not just being lazy! 🙂

    watch the tutorial and follow along closely, and you’ll get that effect.

    I did what you told me to. But i can´t animate a mask without moving the text.
    Should i create a solid and then apply the mask.
    Thanks
