How Ae makes light shuttle animation

Making light shuttle animation needs some basic tools and AE special effects. The following are the general steps:

Create a new composition and import your footage. You can choose any suitable material to create a light shuttle effect, such as a space scene or a scene roaming the earth.

Create a new black background layer in AE, and then put your material layer on it.

Create a white solid layer and put it on your material layer. This layer will be your luminous point.

Use AE's lens halo effect to add light to your solid layer. Select the appropriate halo style, and then adjust the position and size of the halo to make it look like it is emitted from a light source.

The opacity of the solid layer is reduced from 100% to 0% on the time axis to simulate the effect of light diffused from the emission point. You can use AE's keyframe function to create this effect.

Create a mask layer that controls the light and put it on top of your light layer. Use AE's "radial blur" effect to blur the mask layer to simulate the light shuttle effect. Adjust the intensity and position of the blur to make it look like the effect of diffusion from the mask layer.

Use keyframes on the time axis to move the shape and position of the mask layer from one end to the other to simulate the effect of light traveling.

Finally, you can use AE superposition or other compositing modes to mix the lighting layer with your material layer to make the effect more realistic.

Please note that this is just an example of the basic light shuttle effect. You can make changes and adjustments according to your own needs and materials to make the effect better.
