To create a light reveal effect similar to the one you described, follow these steps:

Create the background lighting:
- Add a new solid layer.
- Apply the Four-Color Gradient effect (Effect > Generate).
- Adjust the colors and gradient points to create a soft, diffuse lighting look.
Create the reveal mask:
- Add another solid layer (white or a bright color works well).
- Use the Ellipse Mask tool to draw a circular mask on the solid.
- Set the mask mode to Subtract.
- Increase the Feather value to soften the mask edges.
- Animate the Mask Expansion property to gradually reveal the background from the center outward.
