    For those asking how to add keyframes to the evolution parameter you can see a stop watch icon in the evolution section, click on that, then it should turn blue. Now skip like 10 seconds or whatever timeframe you would like and change the rotation of the evolution, I just added 5x360 degree rotations.
    In depth keyframe tutorial for after effects and premiere coming soon!

  • @meson183

    What is not clear from this vid (which I eventually figured out) is that to eliminate the black parts, you have to have a colour solid underneath the Shape Layer in order for the Screen mode to work.
    Also, what may not be apparent, is that to eliminate the black parts from the ON screen light ray effect, it's the same: put a colour solid underneath and set the White Solid's mode to Screen.
    Furthermore, if you then want this to be transparent, add an adjustment layer above the White Solid/Shape Layer and apply the _Keylight (1.2)_ effect to it and select the colour of your underlying solid. Bingo, your glow effect without the underlying solid colour and no black parts.
    Hope this helps someone.

      You can't. But it's very simple to do in after effects. However there are some good pre-made light ray clips on youtube so maybe the easiest option is to find some of these clips if you want fast and easy light rays without using AE.
