Hey guys!

I have this animation here and I don't know how to explain it but I want this stick wheel to be backlight.

As you can see I've kinda achieved it but I don't like it since the background of the circle is orange and I want it to be red but with the orange rays coming out of every one of the sectors just like the 2nd image (center circle, look close).

For my result, I've created a solid, masked it out as a circle, and applied the CC Radial Fast Blur effect that doesn't work at all for me.

This second image is a frame took out of this video at min 1:33.

Hope I've explained as I try to and to hear your suggestions, thanks in advance!

I have just renamed some of the Objects in the shape layers. I hope that is not too confusing. The trick is layering, blend modes, and a combination of effects. Here's my project file for you to play with.

It would help to see your composition with the modified properties of the layers revealed (press 'uu').

You need multiple copies of the wheel, different blend modes, and effects like Glow, CC Light Burst 2.5, and CC Light Sweep. This took about 5 minutes with one pre-comp for the CC FX. You can't get that kind of look without some blur, glow, and blend modes.
