Hi guys and welcome to spotlight Number two I hope is number two.
We have seen already in the spotlight how to use the like Chido and we have explored all the controls
not just in the renderer you have other options such as light only.
Lets try to use the light only for now.
If I selected you first of all need to notice what the effect has done to your lead.
It has cleared the layer all together and its rendering only the light.
Thats the first thing.
The second one you notice that the color is open now.
I can change the color.
Remember in the light shadow up of course there was no color icon and choose the color.
But now we can change the color the intensity here is no more about what is surrounding the light.
Its about the light itself.
If you decrease it your light will become more transparent it will gain transparency until almost it
fades away.
Here you are at the maximum the light is 100 percent opaque and you cannot see what's behind you notice
so that this layer has transparency because this is the color or the background color of the camp.
So if you come to your transparency here we toggle it.
We have it transparency all over the layer itself and we only render the light.
It makes sense says rendering light only remove everything.
That's what having this transparency meaning we can drop lots of other layers behind and the light will
be on top of everything.
Of course we want to see our video.
So we have two choices the first choice is use the transparency and drop another video under the video
where we put the spotlight or create a solid layer and render the light on the solid lead.
Let's start with the first option.
This is dropping another video under the video where we put the effect itself.
That's pretty cool.
Now we can see the video but actually you know I have two video layers here and it's not really very
professional but if you it is enough you don't have to replace it by its solid layer.
So let's come back to the act itself and take our Las Vegas here.
If you cut down the intensity notice you start having some transparency and the light is pretty nice.
Very different from the cello where we are darkening the outside.
We are just working on the light itself.
Let's put the spotlight off and with the light on lead you'll notice that the colors of the video did
not darken or brighten so the light on it will keep the colors of your very good.
Let's now go to the second option which is creating a solid layer.
We are right click go to new and see solid and whatever color we give it it's OK.
We can make it a size and we click OK.
Now I will come back to the layer where do we have the spotlight and press control X or command X to
cut it and then come back to the solid and control V or command V to paste and come back here.
I don't need this layer any more.
I just did it.
Now not is that the effect is still exactly the same if it has a solid layer or the video itself.
The question comes here.
Can I add more spotlight's.
I like the spotlight.
I'm going to change the color to yellow for example to make it different.
So now I have a yellow light.
I'm going to change a bit and put it on the side just a bit overly good.
So we know this light is our light only now can I add another light.
Of course you would like to add that lots of lights make a disco scene move the lights around.
Stories like this.
Let's take the Sissi spotlight and drop it on the solid layer on the.
This is now like Chido by default.
Let's change it let's say light.
Now things are becoming nicer here.
I have two lights here.
I can move them the way I like and raise them here.
Now of course you're asking can I add more lights.
Yes you can.
We take the spotlight added and you change it to light.
And here you are you've got so many lights it's up to you now to animate them and to make a whole scene
from them something I would like to draw your attention to.
We have these lights on the solid layer makes sense to you right.
But we started with the light only Let's put up our video there and we have the three lights.
I go back to nontransparent.
So we started with light only is the light that leave the laser and the spade only the light itself.
If you change light only to light add.
Now things are not going to work because you are rendering only the light over here.
Even if you put on your video you will not see anything of course and the transparency has disappeared.
So in case you are using a solid it's mandatory to have at least one of them light only so the layer
is and the solid is clear then you will add the other spotlight.
So this is the concept and this is the principle.
If you using a solid layer you start by light only and then you continue with as many lights as you
want you can change the colors and animate them.
And of course you drop the video that you want under the white solid.
So this is a concept not is that this is a very good concept on using solids because you can now change
your videos and you don't have to copy paste all the facts and put them in the next video and song.
So the solid layer will give you the effect on top of the other videos.
Thank you very much for listening.
I'll see you in the next lecture.
