    A client would like their logo to have a beam or shimmer of light go across their 2d logo.

    what is the best way of achieving this in AE 7.0?

    Thanks

    If you don’t own the Shine plugin, you can play with CC Radia fast blur. This is a cycore plugin, and comes with the production bundle CD, not sure if it is on the standalone CD.

    Made ya a sample project in this boring morning…

    Of course you are pretty limited with the CC effect settings, but then mixing it with other effects and playing with transparancy types can give you pretty cool results.

    Ever since I bought Shine, I lost interest in trying other ways 😉

    BTW, it works best if you use a second layer with you logo alone below.

    Cheers,

    All right, well, I guess, the link option doesn’t work.

    I’ll try manually.

    you could also just make a copy of the logo layer, change the blend mode to add, and animate a soft mask going by.

    play with the opacity and my color correct the layer till you get the look you want

    you could also add some blur too if needed

    who is that masked man…

    Sorry for the late response,

    our net went down.

    Going to give this a try tomorrow, just leaving the office now.

    Thanks so much.
