Glint Effect

This week i'v chosen a video on Flash Animation.

The tips and tricks of the video is how to get a "Glint" glare on the word.

Creating a black background.

By having an example word as Flash centralized and then grabbing another layer

and over lapping it with a grey shade in a rectangular strip.

Then by going to your panel and switching from solid to linear then changing the shades.

White in the middle and black in the outside so the glare could be in the middle.

Then using the gradient transformer tool you can shrink the rectangular strip

and turn it diagonal instead of being a line going up and down.

Then right clicker your text layer you can click mask , doing that the text pops out from the background then having a glare in the back.

Then creating the whole strip into a symbol it gives the strip purpose to move.

Create frames to animate this, after selecting how many frames you have and want depending on the speed move the rectangular box to the left and then another frame at the end so animating it going from one side to the other. Then in between the frames click a motion tween to make the rectangle move.
