I have seen that one before but is there anything I need to "focus" on? Because whenever I did that I really messed up I think.
Not sure because I can't really remember it that good - it was a year ago I think - but yeah. Thanks for the help anyways. I will try to follow that one again.

Maybe this helps aswell.

Just open after effects and put your image in a new composition. Add CC Light Sweep to the layer, put it on the left side and start the stopwatch then move it to the right side at like 3 seconds then play it from the start.

Oh, so those effects are made in After Effects? Or is that just an "extra" option?
Thanks for the information tho.

It comes with after effects, otherwise, you can do the same thing in photoshop by just making a make-shift light with a soft brush.

Thanks for the details!

White to transparent reflected gradient, set on overlay.
Make the gradient about an inch or so to make the light beam.
Move it off the canvas to the left of your image. (make sure you're holding shift)
Windows>Timeline>Create FRAME animation
Set your first frame's time to 2s (or however long you want the animation to not appear)
Create new frame, drag the gradient layer (hold shift) off the canvas to the right.
Hit the tween button (looks like a diagonal line of balls fading) make it about 5 frames or so. The more frames the longer the animation is dragged out.
Change all frames after the first frame to .1s.
Hit play.

I imagine this is probably hard to keep up with.. When I'm home from work I'll see about making a short little video tutorial.
