Vegas

This effect generates casino-style running lights--and other path-based pulse animations--around any object. You can outline just about anything on screen, surround it with any number of lights or longer pulses, and then animate it to make the lights move around the object. Use the Segments controls to adjust the size, length, and rotation of the stroke. This effect uses the same Contour controls as the Radio Waves effect.
