Actually i've found the easiest way is to overlay a direct copy by pressing cntrl C then drag to an overlayed track. Once you have one track on top of the next add a cookie cutter effect sfx to the top track. After you have done this, then go in and edit the text outline to on, and make the Outline of the text in the text editing panel White, use the feather function to make it wider and thiner/more shinny. Then go back into your cookie cutter function, and create a keyframe all the way to the left at the begining and a key frame all the way at the right of the time line and bam it moves highlight's/glare across your text. To access the key frames since to a NEWBEE like myself they can seem rather hidden..? Simply click the bottom of the cookie cutter box where it looks as if there is nothing but the outline of the box and drag up the timeline on the right when you drag up is where you place the keyframes. Goodluck thanks guys
