Here's is the preview of my tip and tricks..

• The first you wanna do come up here to Composition, choose (Compositon > New Composition) or by clicking (CTRL + N) on your keyboard. If the Composition Settings menu is open you can change the Composition Name what ever you want the name. You can also

set the Preset I choose (HDV/HDTV 720 25), Width is (1280px) and Height is (720px) and the Duration to "10 Seconds" long and If you are done click OK.

• Go to the top left this is where the effect controls are so you can change the size of the shine. In the "Center" you wanna look over "347.5" you can move the shine around so which you gonna do is you animate through start of the logo to end of the logo. Move the shine to visible side. Click the stop watch of the Center go to the composition timeline and move the Time Indicator at least to "1 second" and move the value of the shine all the way through.

• Highlights or click the Logo Layer click the letter "U" on your keyboard which show you the key frames click the second key frame if you can move the key frames forward the move of the lights sweep is become slowly, If you can move the key frames backward the move of the light sweep is become faster. So it's up to you what the move of the light sweep.
