    I’ve been seeing some really neat titles lately that look like a spotlight is roving over the text. I fooled around with the cookie cutter and pan/crop, but it was tedious. Is there an easy way to do this?

    May not be exactly what you want but try this:

    Add your text event, Now add a “Sony Bump Map” effect to that text event and pick the Spotlight Up preset.

    For the first keyframe, move the center red “cross hair” to the left. For the last keyframe, move the cross hair to the right.

    Now play it back and adjust for taste.
