To make a blinking title:
1 Make a bright-colored title against a
dark background.
2 Select Global Effects: Glow from the
EasyPalette file directory, then click the
F/X button on the Attribute Toolbar.
Glow appears on the Properties Menu.
3 On the Timeline Control, add key
frames to frames 1 and 30. At these key
frames, set the Width of the glow to 2,
the Transparency to 0, and the Soft
Edge to 6. Select a bright Color for the
glow.
4 Add key frames at frames 5, 15, and 20.
These should all have the same at-
tributes as those in frame 1.
5 Add key frames controls to frames 7, 13,
22, and 28. At these key frames, set the
Width of the glow to 0. This makes the
glow disappear.

Glow
This plug-in lets you give any type of aura to fit the mood of the project. Make your object
radiate with a luminous glow of the nuclear age, or you can give it a halo of goodness.
One of the things you might want to try with your object is to have it shine like a light.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to make an object blink on and off. (Settings: 30
