is there any way i can make the text (not the back round aswell) flash? and not just flash but like from one side to the other of text as if you had a knife on a sunny day and you shone the suns reflection on it across it (does anyone know what i mean here?)

Use Light Rays fx. You can Keyframe their position over time. Easy! Might not be exactly what you want but it'll be a start.

I knew what? Now what would that be? . . .

HAH! It comes from a long time NOT being understood here. Now, where do I send the Invoice? - Hmmm?

I'm now thinking of ways to "shine through" the text . . hmmm .. another task/puzzle?

Best regards,

Grazie

Try this idea, veggie file for Vegas 6.0a:

It uses masks and a bump map to move a light source over the surface of the letters.
