Hey guys,

there is one thing I cannot seem to get done. I have for example an Image of Text or a Videoclip containing text which I would like to highlight in the style of a marker pen as animation from left to right. I want it to be clear, with reduced opacity, as long as I need it to be and ideally with interchangeable colours.

For reference see the following image



What I have, unsuccessfully I might say, tried so far:

• A colour card with reduced opacity. Gets the job done, however without the animation from left to right like the pen in real life wood do.


• Tried the pen painting tool under pip effects. It lets me mark / highligt the text. The effect itself however cannot be modified to a reduced opacity, as such is completely blocking out the text below


• searched the internet and director zone for templates to use

Do you guys have any insights for me on how to conquer my challenge?

Thanks in advance,
Hans
