How to Create A Light Sweep (Shine) Effect In Adobe After Effects

Add a shine to your work with this simple effect you can achieve in Adobe After Effects! Today I go over how to create a Light Sweep effect to bring your work to life and make it pop. This effect gives whatever you're working on a shine/glint to give it a reflective appearance. I recently used it in an animation I posted over on my other social media platforms, so if you don't follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, all the links are below!

I've put the effect on but its not showing up at all, even when I change the effect colour. tried messign around with starting and end keyframes but nothing.

[@lilpos]

Why is the light on mine not going through the text but rather a beam of light over the whole picture?

[@tahnymation]

Hi! First thanks a lot for this tuto!!! Does the text needs to be made within AE or can I work on my text on Photoshop and save it as PNG, import it in AE and this effect will still work?

[@HyperBassYT]

Yes
