Light glow on text from left to right
Hi! I’ve been working a lot with Premiere, but I’ve recently started playing around in After effects as well. I’ve been working on a project, but there was one thing i couldn’t figure out how to do. I tried google searching but i didn’t find anything helpful. I’m wondering how they did, or rather how i can achieve a similar effect on the text as they’ve done in this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljtEg1VOVag&ab_channel=GameSpot
As i’ve said i’m not really that experienced with this program, so i’d appreciate if you’d explain in a way that I could understand! Thanks for the help!

Make your text layer. Add an adjustment layer above it and add the glow effect, tweak the settings to taste. Now just add a mask to the adjustment layer(about 25% the width of the comp), twirl open the settings and add a very large horizontal feather. Now just animate the mask from left to right.
Here’s an example project demonstrating technique.
