Figured it out ctrl g makes a group for me and I needed to make clipping mask so just say make a clipping mask next time please

Very nice!I will most likely use this in the future

great tut, i really like this effect and i thought it would have been a lot harder to achieve

I use CS2 and I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I get a light bar that goes over the entire image, not the text. Help?

how,if you can, make the part of text that is not lighten disapear??

I can't understand this -
select the first frame and drag the layer with ur gradient to the left so u cant see it
then select the second and drag the layer with the gradient to the right so u cant see it Can some1 explain deeper please?I understand anything exept the last part about animating all these things...And how can I duplicate layer in animation window ???? :confused:

MY Stupid gradient is runnin' all over the picture!!!!!!

I really dont get the step on the animation, when u "Drag the layer to the right", WHAT DO YOU MEAN, and could you be a LITTLE more descrepitive, especial yon the layer to lighten, cuz i have ps7, and it really just doesnt work when u group and lighten it, it just darkens the text, i would like a BIT, more of description

Good tut Much easier to understand then the other one I saw for this effect. However I'm confused on something. I'm not sure How you got your finished picture. I followed the steps to the T and I either have one big strip of light to I tried cropping the gradient in Photoshop before going to image ready. SO I had a small line but when I play the animation it just doesn't look right The light doesn't blend to the shape of the letters like yours does. What Am I doing wrong? Oh and does anyone know hoe to slow the animation down?
