text composition hit t for opacity then
7:17
go to around maybe 4 seconds set up the
7:20
first key frame for opacity all the way

text animation of our creative text
7:35
awesome for the final step let's add a
7:38

7:57
also blend this with original maybe to
8:00
around 40% set up the first key frame

8:04
maybe six or 7 seconds or maybe five
8:08
according to you and for the flare

Center let's move it all the way to this
8:13
side and now when we hit zero we have
8:15
also cool players here maybe this is a
8:18
little bit strong maybe to go around 70%
8:21
or so you can duplicate this lens fler
8:24
effect okay and now this is looking
8:27
awesome you can change also L Type maybe
8:30
to this second option or third just play
8:33
