Noble Kreative shows how to make a shine effect in Ae without Trapcode Shine.

The tutorials from Najib Khayati (Noble Kreative) show Ae users how to get started creating motion graphics in After Effects. A lot of them show how to create complex effects without using their typical third-party tools counterparts. A new tutorial is a perfect example of this, where Najib shows how to create a shine effect without using Trapcode Shine.

The tutorial covers animating type in After Effects while using a gradient to set the focus. The shine part comes from using CC Radial Fast Blur, a tool that comes bundled with After Effects. In the end, you will get an elegant golden shine without having to shell out the dough.
