animating the light rays effect

[TheMacB]

when i put the light ray effect on some text, for example, and move the source or the direction of the light around, it gives me a really cool effect. is there any way to record the motion of the light?

Use the key frames on the effect. Apply the light rays to the text, and key frame the movement to fit the duration of the text. For longer movement, time stretch or make the generated text media longer in actual time duration.

Nutshell answer: Use Key Frames
