A glint travels the letters on a loop you pace — or on keyframes you place to hit the beat.
God-ray shafts burst from the letterforms and ride the sweep.
A soft halo with anamorphic, multi-point flares and a prism-edge fringe.
Genuine extrusion with crumple-proof bevels and eight edge styles.
Set it on a loop, or keyframe it to the beat. Glint, colour wash, or both. Shape the band with comet or twin-line profiles, set the width, softness, angle and speed, and let it ride across the type frame after frame. It's the look TextLight is built around — and nothing else in the suite does it.
Light Sweep A travelling glint that loops or follows your keyframes.
Colour Wash Tint the band to wash colour across the letters as it passes.
Light Rays Volumetric god-ray shafts that burst from the letters.
Anamorphic Streaks Multi-point lens flares that ride the sweep.
Outer Glow A soft neon halo with adjustable radius and softness.
Inner Glow Light that lives inside the letterforms, neon-tube style.
Colour Fringing A subtle prism edge along the glow and streaks.
3D Extrusion Real depth with independently adjustable front and back edges.
Eight Edge Styles Bevel, round, concave, step, convex, ridge, chisel and square.
Reflections 40+ HDRIs that slide across glossy, metallic type.
A real travelling light, not a flat additive band. Target the glint to faces, edges or everything, pick comet or twin-line band shapes, and drive it on a loop or by hand to sync a flash to a cut. This is the control that makes the sweep feel physical.
Colour, prism and grain — all built right in. Layer them with inner glow, gradient fills and a stroke to build a signature treatment — every effect lives in TextLight, so there's no round-tripping to other tools.
