Horizontal colour gradient that moves

I’m trying to create a horizontal gradient that appears to move along the horizontal axis, and repeats continuously as if there is no join.

For example, from left to right, a red to purple, then back to red again, that appears to move across the screen in a line.

I can sort of do the effect by adding a hue rotate effect, and animating the rotation, but the widths of the bands of gradients seem to change size as the colours “move along”.

there are so many roads to try and this is just one ;)

When you create a black - white gradient and then use the colorize with a custom pallete to get waht you want...

This doesn’t seem to work, as it only changes the colour of my white element rather than “moving it along”.

You first need to get this gradient scroling...

Animate the palette or add a hue rotate afterwords are 2 more ways you can try....

Use the pallet mode to create a looping color pallet you want then add the slide fx.
Edwin also added a new "size" param to the circular gradient so this is uber helpful for animating those types of gradients as well now. Happy Festivus!
