[b]Ctrl+N[/b] Any Dark colors & Sizes will do. I'll be using colors [b]Black & White[/b] for the Tut & the font [b]Porky's[/b]. [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/LOUiiZe-27/Tutorials/Shining%20Text%20Effect/1Screenshot.png[/img] [b]2.[/b] Now put your desired Text. [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/LOUiiZe-27/Tutorials/Shining%20Text%20Effect/buttontext.png[/img] The thicker the font, the better the effect will be. Make the color of your text [b]Dark[/b] & put a Stroke on it. [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/LOUiiZe-27/Tutorials/Shining%20Text%20Effect/2Text.png[/img] [b]3.[/b] Open a new layer & Create a [b]Gradient[/b] like the one below.

[img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/LOUiiZe-27/Tutorials/Shining%20Text%20Effect/5GradientOutcome.png[/img] [b]6.[/b] Make sure that the Gradient layer is above the Text layer. Then set a clipping mask by clicking [b]Alt+Ctrl+G[/b]. This is how it will look.

[b]8.[/b] Make new Frames by hitting the [b]Duplicate Frame[/b] button at the Animation Palette. [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/LOUiiZe-27/Tutorials/Shining%20Text%20Effect/buttonnewframe.png[/img] Drag the gradient layer to the Left/Right in each new frame.
