Introduction

This is the result we will create: a dead forest at twilight, drenched in heavy rain with two layers of droplets, and suddenly struck by lightning that illuminates the entire sky. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Weather effects are 6FX, which are often needed. Rain can be fully created from particles, and lightning is simply a well-timed flash of light. Create a composition from the forest sunset footage.

Step 1: Darken the scene

Add Lumetri Color, Exposure minus 0.5, Saturation 70, and Temperature minus 15. The mood turns dark and cold, ready for a storm.

Step 2: Rain particles

Create a black solid named 'Hujan Jauh' and apply CC Particle World. Change the particle type to another. Place the producer on top of the screen with a wide X radius so the droplets appear across the entire screen. Increase gravity to 3 and beard rate to 4, long of it to 1.6 seconds, and set beard size and dead size small so the droplets are thin.

Step 3: Gravity and speed

Thin lines now fall heavily from above. Set beard color and dead color to a bluish-gray, then change the layer mode to Screen so the black disappears. Duplicate the rain layer and name it 'Hujan Dekat'.

Step 4: Close rain

Increase beard size and dead size so the droplets appear closer to the camera, and reduce beard rate. Two layers of rain with different sizes give a sense of depth.

Step 5: Lightning

Create a solid named 'Kilat' with a bluish-white color and mode Add. On opacity, create keyframes with hold, 0, then 80 at second 2, 0 shortly after, 60, then 0 again. A quick flash twice like this mimics real lightning.

Step 6: Preview

Play the preview. Heavy rain falls in the dark forest, and then lightning strikes, illuminating the entire screen. Add thunder sound in Premiere or directly in After Effects for maximum effect.

Done!

Done. We have darkened the scene, created rain from CC Particle World with another particle type, Set gravity and size, create two layers of rain, and make lightning with keyframe hold.
