Just started using BT 8 as an alternative to Boris and have been finding my way around.
It would appear there is no search so an apology if the answers are buried in the archive.
I have three questions:
I am looking to do light sweeps over text with either a Beam or a Lens Flare.
1 What do I need to do to stop the lens flare rotating as it moves across the text? i.e Flare 3 used as texture on point light layer moves likes it a gear cog
2 What is the best way to do a simple light sweep is there a show somewhere?
3 I want to recreate and refine something I did in Boris - it is moving spotlight beams pivoting from a fixed point at the top moving in a 30 degree arc though the screen, sure it is possible but cannot work out how. Any ideas?
Thanks
David
1. Isn't this how flares behave? Maybe we can make it optional in a next version.
2. You can find many flare examples in the "light effects" folder. Press the OPEN SHOW button to open a show.
3. Can you point us to an online video showing this effect?

Examples as requested
1 From an ad I'm working on - Simple Light sweep on main caption. (Boris) I'm sure I can do this in BT but the rotating flare floors me.

2 For the promo of the same show, which I have just update with some BT captions. This has the light sweep but also the beam within the downlight matte (both Boris)
