Introduction

This is the final result we'll create: a softly glowing night traffic light, lens flares passing through, and a warm light leak flowing across the screen. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Light makes images feel alive. In this episode, we'll add three types of light effects to the night traffic footage: glow, lens flare, and light leak. Create a composition from the night traffic footage.

Step 1: Glow on the light

Apply glow to the footage. Glow threshold determines how bright the pixels that glow are, lower it to 50%. Glow radius 30 and intensity 1.5. The car lights and road now glow.

Step 2: Lens Flare on a black solid

Create a black solid named flare. Apply lens flare from the generate category. Lens flare glow appears on top of the black. Change the layer mode to screen. Then the black disappears and only the glow remains. Separating the flare into its own layer makes it easier to adjust.

Step 3: Moving Flare

At the 0 second mark, place the flare center at the top left and activate stop walk. At the 4 second mark, move it to the right. Notice the flare rings moving in opposite directions past the center of the screen. Exactly like reflections in a real lens. Adjust flare brightness to 90%. Create another solid named light leak and apply fractal noise.

Step 4: Light leak from Fractal Noise

Increase scale to 800 and contrast to 150 to form a large bright cluster. Add an expression time x 30 on evolution so the cluster keeps moving.

Step 5: Coloring the light leak

Add the tin effect, map black to black and map white to orange. Change the layer mode to Screen and set opacity to 60%. The orange glow is now flowing over the footage like light leaking into the film.

Step 6: Preview

Rotate the preview. The glowing light, flare, and light leak are moving slowly. These three light layers can be turned on or off individually to adjust the mood.

Done!

Done. We've used glow with threshold, radius, and intensity, lens flare on a black solid with Screen mode, animated flare center, light leak from fractal noise with the expression evolution, and coloring with Tin. In the next episode, we'll try distortion effects.

Solesaj!
