Hi guys and what come to lights or 3-D lights in After Effects.
Now in this lecture I will introduce how to create a light and what is a single light and then we will
develop later on with other lights that are very useful.
So here we have an image.
It's not entirely because I want to show you something and then you have a text that is light and the
color of the text is a bit gray.
Of course as usual we are in our minimal workspace and we have open the project manager just over here.
To delight all you have to do is to right click and you go in you and you have the light here.
Just click on it.
The light setting panel will open up for you to either your first night or two and the like to see that
there are several types of light here.
If you click you will not see how little spot point an ambient.
Let's start with the ambient light now not something very important here.
Some of the properties here have been shaded off because this ambient light does not have these properties
or does not work with these properties.
So for the NPM light all you have is the color and the intensity and this bleak OK.
Now give you a message here.
Can red lights do not affect to the last.
So these layers that you have in our composition should be in 3-D.
So the light can affect them so let's click OK and put these two layers into 3-D.
Now notice it seems like nothing has happened and you can't even see the light here.
That is because it's an ambient light.
The ambient light will just light up your composition all the 3-D layers.
So let's it the ambient light.
If you're done you have light options and underlined options you have only intensity and color for the
ambient light other type of lights will have different properties over here.
So you can increase the intensity.
That is the intensity of the light.
And you know you can just decrease the way you would like.
So you can see what's happening with the ambient light.
First of all there is no light.
Actually it is this small point over here this is the light and this is not the default position.
This is the position of the last light.
I have created here.
So if you create a light then put on ambient light you get a small dot just to tell you the light is
here but really it doesn't matter because the ambient light will light up or will have an intensity
on all the letters even this incense.
If you notice it's got become negative.
OK.
So in some cases it'll be very useful in some cases not useful at all like not good.
You also have the light color you can change the color to anything you want.
OK let's say we take a look.
So now all the three layers have been affected using the intensity.
Now you can play with the light.
Now notice this is a very interesting light and you can get used to it if you want to light up your
scene so you have several videos and you have some graphics and so on and you want to insert a light
that will brighten or dim or change the colors of all your 3-D glasses that will be very useful ambient
light.
In our case here what would be interesting is to make the text and not 3-D and not just the light now
is affecting only the image itself behind.
Now there are several ways to edit the properties of a light.
The first one is like I have done you just roll down and then turn down the light options and you see
all the options or you can double click on the light and go back here.
Give it a nice name if you like.
Change the light type would see that later change the color and the intensity whatever properties are
going guys.
So this is for the ambient light at the back to 100 percent and then in the next texture we see another
type of light.
