1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,700 Hi guys and what come to lights or 3-D lights in After Effects. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Now in this lecture I will introduce how to create a light and what is a single light and then we will 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,140 develop later on with other lights that are very useful. 4 00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:19,450 So here we have an image. 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:25,360 It's not entirely because I want to show you something and then you have a text that is light and the 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,370 color of the text is a bit gray. 7 00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:34,800 Of course as usual we are in our minimal workspace and we have open the project manager just over here. 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,520 To delight all you have to do is to right click and you go in you and you have the light here. 9 00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:44,050 Just click on it. 10 00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:49,510 The light setting panel will open up for you to either your first night or two and the like to see that 11 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,330 there are several types of light here. 12 00:00:53,370 --> 00:00:57,790 If you click you will not see how little spot point an ambient. 13 00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:01,980 Let's start with the ambient light now not something very important here. 14 00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:08,070 Some of the properties here have been shaded off because this ambient light does not have these properties 15 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:10,100 or does not work with these properties. 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,500 So for the NPM light all you have is the color and the intensity and this bleak OK. 17 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,420 Now give you a message here. 18 00:01:17,430 --> 00:01:20,450 Can red lights do not affect to the last. 19 00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,770 So these layers that you have in our composition should be in 3-D. 20 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:31,330 So the light can affect them so let's click OK and put these two layers into 3-D. 21 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:35,890 Now notice it seems like nothing has happened and you can't even see the light here. 22 00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:38,640 That is because it's an ambient light. 23 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,250 The ambient light will just light up your composition all the 3-D layers. 24 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,360 So let's it the ambient light. 25 00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:52,800 If you're done you have light options and underlined options you have only intensity and color for the 26 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,200 ambient light other type of lights will have different properties over here. 27 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040 So you can increase the intensity. 28 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,000 That is the intensity of the light. 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,270 And you know you can just decrease the way you would like. 30 00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:08,550 So you can see what's happening with the ambient light. 31 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:10,060 First of all there is no light. 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,750 Actually it is this small point over here this is the light and this is not the default position. 33 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:18,530 This is the position of the last light. 34 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,010 I have created here. 35 00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:24,840 So if you create a light then put on ambient light you get a small dot just to tell you the light is 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:32,040 here but really it doesn't matter because the ambient light will light up or will have an intensity 37 00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,880 on all the letters even this incense. 38 00:02:34,950 --> 00:02:37,540 If you notice it's got become negative. 39 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,060 OK. 40 00:02:38,190 --> 00:02:43,720 So in some cases it'll be very useful in some cases not useful at all like not good. 41 00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:49,020 You also have the light color you can change the color to anything you want. 42 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:51,280 OK let's say we take a look. 43 00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:55,440 So now all the three layers have been affected using the intensity. 44 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,640 Now you can play with the light. 45 00:02:57,690 --> 00:03:04,340 Now notice this is a very interesting light and you can get used to it if you want to light up your 46 00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:10,700 scene so you have several videos and you have some graphics and so on and you want to insert a light 47 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:17,720 that will brighten or dim or change the colors of all your 3-D glasses that will be very useful ambient 48 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,740 light. 49 00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:25,760 In our case here what would be interesting is to make the text and not 3-D and not just the light now 50 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,330 is affecting only the image itself behind. 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,900 Now there are several ways to edit the properties of a light. 52 00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:40,200 The first one is like I have done you just roll down and then turn down the light options and you see 53 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,540 all the options or you can double click on the light and go back here. 54 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,190 Give it a nice name if you like. 55 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,540 Change the light type would see that later change the color and the intensity whatever properties are 56 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:53,090 going guys. 57 00:03:53,110 --> 00:04:00,880 So this is for the ambient light at the back to 100 percent and then in the next texture we see another 58 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,840 type of light.
