Here is a simple video intro I made a another youtube user. It makes use of radial gradients with the “Alpha-over” blend method. The lighting effect at the end is done with an animated radial gradient “straight onto” the text and I animate shade layer. Simple but effective I think.
Please visit the video and “like” it. Pervert trolls that the user has banned have been hitting “dislike” because… well, because they are trolls! lol
The format has to be using the /v/video_code and not the /watch?v=video_code that is usually provided by youtube.
