Rob Mize takes us through an After Effects Tutorial where he creates some text being cut out by a laser beam, using only standard After Effects plugins.

“Write with lasers. Rob Mize uses After Effects to create a laser effect and controls it with motion paths created from shapes layers. The use of track mattes enables the laser to burn text, shapes and logos in backgrounds. No 3rd party plug-ins required.”
