moving light beam on Logos and Texts
There is an effect frequently used on TV ads: A moving light beam that light Logos and Texts.
Please see these videos:
Second 0 to 3 and 53 to 55: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJvZjWHfjEo
Second 58-59: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVLOydduvqg&feature=related
I have tried to do it in Vegas using ‘Lens Flare’, but it doesn’t look the same.
Your help will be appreciated.

I would do it with Generated Media Color Gradient making a thin white line with very soft edges, animating it with keyframes, and using the track composite levels (perhaps screen mode) to blend it with the original footage.

Thank you John.
I have tested that approach, but the light beam lights all the screen and not only the text or the logo to be highlighted.

You can duplicate the text or logo above the light beam and use it as a mask. Add the Mask Generator to the duplicate logo to make it a black and white mask (or in the case of the text it may already be white). This will restrict the beam to just the text or logo.
