Hello Everyone, Today i'm going to teach you how to create Animated Shine effect like the one below.

Step 1:
-Create your canvas. Example is 400x200.

Step 2:
-Fillup your canvas with the color you want. Like the one below.

Step 3:
-Type the text you want with the color you want. The text i want is Sync with the color red.

Step 4:
-Click the brush tool, and choose the first preset with the size 40.

Step 5:
-Now create a new layer and in that layer brush it with white color like the one in the picture below. And put that before the first letter.

Step 6:
-Now click Window>Animation to show the animation toolbar below. If the timeline animation appears click the button that is pointed by the arrow to switch in frames.

Step 7:
-Duplicate the layer from the animation toolbar.

Step 8:
-After that, click the duplicated layer and move the layer from Step 5 after the last letter like this. (Note: Be sure to change the seconds to no delay the 2 layers. And change also the Once to Forever.)

Step 9:
-Create a new layer and merge the the text to the new layer you have created.

Step 10:
-On the animation toolbar hold control and click the 2 layers.

Step 11:
-After that, click the button that is stated below.

Step 12:
-For the frames to add, it depends on your text. Mine is only 4 letters so i will only put 18. Just calculate how many frames you want.

Step 13:
-After that, add a clipping mask with your text. (Press CTRL+ALT+G)

Step 14:
-Now go to File>Save for Web & Devices.

Step 15:
-Thats it! Now your done!
