How to make Ripple/Energy Burst on Alight Motion

Here, we use a plain circle with a white outline and no fill, together with a Box Blur and a Displacement Map to create the ripple on the left; change the layer blending mode to screenfor the energy burst look on the right.

     

Here's how:

1. Create the background layer.
2. Create a circle layer in front of the background (this will be the map layer).
3. In Color & Fill turn OFF the fill using the icon on the left:
       
4. In Border & Shadow turn ONN the Outline Center option, set the color to white and the thickness to something large (say, 80).
5. VERY IMPORTANT: Normally, outline and borders are applied after all effects. But we want to use the outline itself as a map. There's a trick to do this: Put it in a group all by itself, the apply the effect to the group. Here's how:  Long-press the circle layer header tab at the left end of the timeline to select it (it will look like this:  ) then tap the group  icon at the top of the screen to make a group with just the circle.
6. Select the map layer group and apply a Box Blur effect (we used a strength of about 0.4, but you can adjust as you like).
7. Apply a Displacement Map effect to the map layer group.
8. Use Move & Transform to apply a keyframe animation to the size of the map layer group, so that it grows from the center to the edge. (In the example, after this, we duplicated the layer and moved the duplicate a little later in time, for multiple rings)
