Highlight Hit effect across type

Can anybody tell me if they've developed a decent effect to add a glow, gleam, or "hit" across type. I've been using the lens flare...but it's too busy. I've tried to build a separate color box...shrink it and blur it using the track pan/crop...then over the type track...again not the greatest. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

The bump map can do some rather interesting things. I made up a sample video a while back showing dark text with a gleam moving across it.

Of course, you can alter the color and texture of the text and the color of the gleam.

Thanks for the suggestion. Their web site examples look good. I'll save up to buy it.

The bump map is a good effect...and at least it can be done within Vegas.
