Hi guys I hope you're doing very well with discourse and you really enjoyed the spotlight lectures that
we had before.
Now you notice we covered a lot in the spotlight.
We have covered everything when it comes to the light the light only the light and the light channel.
Now we want to cover the gel.
The gel in concept will operate exactly as the light options with one single major difference.
And we are going to see what is this difference and how to handle it.
Let's start let's create a new composition from our project panel.
We come to create new camp.
We call it spotlight.
Gen. we are OK with 19:20 by 10 A-T and we take 30 frames per second whatever.
Here is OK we're doing just graphics.
As long as our videos are working fine and we click OK fine.
In spotlight gel I will take the Las Vegas and drop it inside the composition.
We take the spotlight and we drop it immediately.
I will change from light cello to for example gel and we are going to work on the gel only.
I will show you lots of examples if you want to apply gel shadow or gel only it's the same concept as
a light only a light.
So we go for jet.
Now you know there's something in the timeline over here.
I will eliminate this one and even the second one that's not is that if you play the video the light
itself is our video because in the gel layer there is a Las Vegas video.
So actually what's happening here.
The light is coming from the gel layer.
Just it makes sense to create a new gel layer.
In our case here being in the same video it doesn't make sense at all.
So let's go back to our project and create a new composition.
We are going to college and that will be our jail or our light.
So here we have an empty composition.
First thing I want to do for example let's fill it with something less try to create a new solid and
give it yellow color is OK.
Make it the cup size.
We click OK.
Let's go back to our spotlight gel and go back to the effect itself to be able to choose here.
The come gel the come gel has to be within the composition.
So we go back to our project and we take the gel camp and drop it in.
There is no need even to have it visible just pull it off.
Good guys.
Now we go back to Las Vegas.
Hey Izzy go back to the control and from here.
Choose.
You not this you had to drop it in a bit over here.
Now as soon as I put gel with gel I already have the gel Champa as my spotlight and this very interesting.
If you come for example to intensity this is the same as the light ad and you have the height and you
have of course the corn.
But now there is a problem if you notice these lines if you want to eliminate these lines you're not
very happy.
You want your life to be pretty nice what you can do is to come to gel.
Just select the solid layer and DoubleClick when you double click.
Of course you have created the mask.
Let's say that there are a mask over here let's double doubleclick on the mask so we can make it smaller
and we just stretch it in less control and shift and make it smaller.
I will come to the mosque further and further as much as possible.
OK that's enough.
Let's go to the spotlight.
And here you are you have now a different kind of light.
So you notice whatever you put in the gel composition you will have it as light if you choose it in
the jet layer.
As simple as this.
Of course you can have the intensity now you can play with the cone angle and you can play maybe with
the height a bit not much.
That's what's happening.
It is going to disappear.
This is because of the intensity.
We need to change it.
So we'll call now we have our flight the way we want.
That's pretty beautiful by the way.
But let's make it more beautiful.
Let's come to the jail over here.
DoubleClick on the gel layer.
And actually remove the mask with the mask.
So we have the let's create some other kind of masks.
Let's take the Arab stool and create one circle over here I'll just press barabar to put it in the right
position.
Then let's take again and put another circle press shift to make it to circle I will press the spacebar
to bring it in shift.
I have them over the phone.
Of course these are mosques and it's gonna to be a bit hard to animate them yet you can use your selection
to click on them and just position them anywhere you want the same you can do to this one and position
it just over the goal let's go to the spotlight and you'll have your two lights or your two masks in
form of your lights.
Now look how funny it is.
They are moving the same way.
If we come over here we for example increase the cone and we can increase the height.
The way you like reduce the intensity.
OK.
You have them like this but they are very sharp even if you play with the softness here.
They were quite sharp because the origin is pretty sharp.
They select both masks come to the feathering and feather them again.
And we got spotlight here you have now two spotlights that you can move around.
That's not bilateral.
Let's go play again.
We have two masks here.
I'm going to put another mask just like this over.
This one's OK.
I will take a mask of three and put it on top and the mask one I will make it subtract and must do.
I will also make it subtract.
Not just now we have a very nice shape.
If you come back to your spotlight now you have a very strange shape that you can make a spotlight.
Let's go to the mosque three here and give it some federating not too much actually here.
I want to use the feathering and also the last one.
They use the feathering 2:54 the same as the previous one.
Of course you can come to this mask position it right away.
Come back to spotlight.
You have a ghost here.
Now if you add in intensity you reduce the feathering a bit.
Ok that's cool.
And of course you can play with the high it becomes big.
So you have a scary guy.
Of course it is your light and you can move it the way you want.
Good.
So what did I show you until now.
If you look at the spotlight all we have done is to put gel you can put gel shadow.
It will do the same effect as the light Chido.
But still to gel.
And then you create a composition gel and you put there any graphic that you want in this case.
I mean this guy.
But you can also have a goose or anything that you want the shape is solid irradiation.
You can also have an animation.
That's where I'm going to do here to show you about the animation.
I will keyframe mask one mask too and then come back to the beginning.
That's OK.
It's like a mask gwon just move it to the side.
Press enter then mask too.
I would double click on it and put it aside.
Let's make it more than 10 frames here let's go for example to two seconds only.
I think the animation is quite speedy that's OK.
Let's go back to spotlight and play our animation now.
Not only are any meeting your mask itself not only you or any meeting the jail but you can come back
and start animating the from and the two of course are going to take time to render.
And here you are.
You create some kind of double animation in this case.
Stop it over here.
You can also come and move your mask make it big or small whatever you like.
Of course I cleared a funny face here to give you some interest to play with you.
But you can put lots of useful graphic over here.
You can animate your graphics over here.
Then you bring it as a gel or as a gel only if you like on a gel shallow whatever you like and you can
play the animation it will playing.
Pretty cool.
Thank you guys for listening.
And in the next lecture we will see how to manipulate the gel with videos and images.
See you then.
