the scrolling text can be just keyframed (easy to do), or done with an expression

the lighting can be done with a plugin, trapcode shine (not free)

Thank u so much, sorry 4 retard.

I tried trapcode shine, but as u said, not free
About the scrolling text, I am used to animate titles in premiere using keyframes producing simple animations as I did here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF0XxOCp3QI.

In this example I animated the color of the logo (Gam3aVoiceTV) and duplicated the title along the sequence to repeat the animation. By this way, I tried to make like the scrolling text in the pic above. I repeated a statement horizontally, scrolled it using key frames and duplicated the title at the end of the last statement. the result was non attractive, non accurate animation, so I thought it may by easy to do in after effects, as it has more options for titles than premiere. briefly, the net result is that I was not able to make like this effect . So I will be so grateful If I can know the right way to make that.

Thank u again.

I'm not sure what you're asking?

The video is about 9min long, exactly what section were you referring to? I see a mask reveal with arabic text, or were you referring to something else?. Can you list the timeframe in the video (i.e. from when to when) that you are referring to?

The scrolling text is just a layer that you keyframe from right to left. It is easier to do in AE, but you don't need AE for that, it can be done in Premiere

Here is a tutorial for a "trapcode shine like" effect using the free built in AE plugins (not as good as trapcode, but not too bad)

That's what i did in premiere.

- the tutorial is good and satisfies me now

[poisondeathray]

there is no right or wrong way to do it...

if you're happy with it, then that's all that matters

I think you can control the animation by right clicking the keyframes or adjusting the velocity curves (I don't have PP open right now, or maybe I'm confusing that with AE)
