“shining light” effect
I don’t know the name of the effect, but i see it everywhere today. I’d describe it as shining a light from behind lettering such that the light shines out towards the viewer — with the rays of light visible. What i want to do is shine a light through some text using an alpha. Anybody know what this effect is or how to do this? thanks for any help!

Yep, very overused, though the “shine effect” was overused long before Trapcode came out with their plug-in. It’s such a standard effect now, I think it’s become a fundamental effect for the mograph designer (just like drop shadow is for graphic designers), and everyone should have it in their toolkit (just use discriminately).

Very helpful, thanks all…

Let’s not forget the CC Light Rays and CC Light Burst, part of the very useful Cycore Effects which are on your AE disk as an extra install.
