<p>Im trying to match the title and information background from a how to video...</p>

<p><div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3BfNTSVBQFk?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>It's the light beam background from 0:05 - 0:09 and also the animated light background from 0:10-0:17</p>

<p>I have tried experimenting with lens flare, and have searched the net, but can't find any help on how to achieve it. I'm quite new to After Effects, and am looking to learn, but I just need pointing in the right direction on what to research to achieve the effect.</p>

<p>Any help you guys could give would be much appreciated </p>

<p>Many thanks
Ben</p>
