When you say duplicate layer, do I duplicate everything including the letter and the footage used as an alpha track matte in it or just the video layer underneath?

Thank you so much Dave. You were on point with the text used as track mattes, the nested comps, and the bevel alpha effect.
I’m at the point where I’m adding the black and white footage that gets revealed as each letter moves. Do you know if there is a faster way to do this than with masks. Using the pen tool to set up all the points of the mask for each frame feels like it will take forever :/ Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for this information Kalle. It really came in handy. I didn’t even know about CC Light Rays and I also found out about other light effects inside AE like CC Light Sweep and Light Burst, which I used to customize the text even more.

Thank you for the idea. Definitely going to use masks. Good thing AE is so good at compositing because I’m going to have many layers. 🙂
I also slowed down the motion graphic for the special edition of the game and it looks like they fancied it up with some optical flares.

You could try the puppet pin tool. Click on or scroll down to “How the Puppet effect creates outlines.” You could try to apply paint strokes using the brush tool.
The stroke of a shape is not used in the determination of outlines; only the path is used.
