Introduction

This is the result we'll create, a city square that was originally bright during the day now transformed into a quiet blue night. With warm glowing windows in the buildings. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Shooting at night is difficult, it's dark and noisy. That's why directors have used the day for night technique since the beginning, recording during the day and then transforming it into night. We'll do this with After Effects.

Step 1: Night Adjustment Layer

Create a composition from the city old footage and add an adjustment layer named 'night'. We'll place all our corrections on this layer so it's easy to compare with the original.

Step 2: Pressing the Light

Apply Lumetri Color, Exposure minus 1.5, Highlights minus 60, and Contrast 20. Night is never as bright as day, especially the bright parts like the sky and white walls.

Step 3: Blue Moon

Human eyes see night as a blue tone. Adjust the Temperature to minus 40, Tin 10 towards magenta, and Saturation 60%. The scene now turns into a cold blue, as if lit by moonlight.

Step 4: Darker Sky

At night, the sky is darker than the buildings. Create a solid named 'night sky' with a gradient ramp from dark blue on top to white in the center of the screen, then change the mode to Multiply. The sky darkens while the ground remains unaffected.

Step 5: Lit Window and Vignette

Duplicate the original footage above the night layer, name it 'windows', and create small holes in the windows of the houses on the right. Add a warm tint and glow. The windows now glow warmly in the middle of the blue night. Finally, set the Vignette Amount to minus 1 in Lumetri.

Step 6: Preview

Turn off and on the night layer to compare, then preview. The bright day is now transformed into a quiet and convincing night.

Done!

Done. We've already used the day for night technique. Pressing exposure and highlights, adding a blue moon, darkening the sky with a multiply gradient, turning on the window, and adding a vignette. In the next episode, we create a futuristic hologram. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for a short film?
