You could experiment with the gradient filter,

You can also add a white clip to the top track and apply a mask: simple shape filter to it.
Adjust the different sliders to get the desired effect

He used two Gradient filters, one for the left side and one for the right side

sorry for stupid questions i’m new to editing

I don’t think it was a stupid question. I actually learned something too from this topic.

Of the 2 methods I prefer the one suggested by @Namna since it only requires a single filter, one that is also easily keyframeable. I have added a short tutorial:
