This filter generates a two-toned laser beam that fires from a start point to an end point. The speed the beam travels is based on the length of the clip, factored with the length of the Beam Fire Duration: a short clip makes a faster beam. Because of the complexity of this filter, it can be a little slow to render, but you can create some really unique effects!
