• Click the Eyedropper icon and then click anywhere on the computer desktop to select a color.
6 (Optional) Click the Transform icon to display the light’s handles and Center circle in the Program Monitor. You
can directly manipulate the position, scale, and rotation of a light by dragging its handles and Center circle .
Note: If you have more than one light, Center circles for each light appear in the Program Monitor. Clicking a Center
circle displays the handles for a specific light.
7 In the Effect Controls panel, use the following controls to set the properties for the individual source light:
Center Moves the light using X and Y coordinate values for the center of the light. You can also position a light by
dragging its Center circle in the Program Monitor.
Major Radius Adjusts the length of an Omni light or Spotlight. You can also drag one of the handles in the Program
Monitor.
Projected Radius Adjusts the proximity of a Directional light’s source to the Center circle . A value of 0 positions
the light at the Center circle and floods the image with light. A value of 100 moves the light source far from the Center
circle, decreasing the light falling on the image. In the Program Monitor, you can also drag the light source point to
adjust its distance from the Center circle.
Minor Radius 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.
Angle 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.
Intensity Controls whether a light is bright or less intense.
Focus Adjusts the size of the Spotlight’s brightest area.
Important: 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:
Ambient Light Color Changes the color of the ambient light.
Ambience Intensity 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.
Surface Gloss 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).
Surface Material 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.
Exposure 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 pop-up menu. Use the controls to adjust the properties for the bump layer.
