image. In the Program Monitor, you can also drag the light source point to adjust its distance from the Center circle.

Adjusts the width of a Spotlight. Once the light becomes a circle, increasing the Minor Radius also increases the Major

Radius. You can also drag one of the handles in the Program Monitor to adjust this property.

Changes the direction of a Directional light or Spotlight. Adjust this control by specifying a value in degrees. You can also move the

pointer outside a handle in the Program Monitor until it turns into a double-headed curved arrow , and then drag to rotate the light.

Controls whether a light is bright or less intense.

Adjusts the size of the Spotlight’s brightest area.

The Light Type determines which Lighting Effects properties are available. Make sure to click the Transform icon to display a light’s

handles and Center circle in the Program Monitor.

8. Use the following controls to set the Lighting Effects properties:

Changes the color of the ambient light.

Diffuses the light as if it were combined with other light in a room, such as sunlight or fluorescent light. Choose a value

of 100 to use only the light source, or a value of –100 to remove the light source. To change the color of the ambient light, click the color box
and use the color picker that appears.

Determines how much the surface reflects light (as on the surface of a piece of photographic paper) from –100 (low

reflectance) to 100 (high reflectance).

Determines which is more reflective: the light or the object on which the light is cast. A value of –100 reflects the light’s

color, and a value of 100 reflects the object’s color.

Increases (positive values) or decreases (negative values) the light’s brightness. A value of 0 is the default brightness of the light.

9. (Optional) Repeat steps 3 - 7 to add more lights (Light 2 - Light 5).

10. (Optional) If you added a clip to use as a bump layer (Lighting Effects texture), choose the track containing the bump layer clip from the

Bump Layer menu. Use the controls to adjust the properties for the bump layer.

Apply Lighting Effects textures

A bump layer in the Lighting Effects lets you use the pattern or texture from a clip to control how light reflects off an image. Using a clip with
textures like paper or water can create a 3D-like lighting effect.

1. Add the clip you want to use as a bump layer (texture) to a separate track in your sequence.

2. Click the Toggle Track Output icon

to hide the track containing the bump layer clip.

3. Add the Lighting Effects to a clip in the same sequence.

4. In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle to expand the Lighting Effects.
