Top: Top view of a target spotlight
Bottom: Perspective view of the same light
A spotlight casts a focused beam of light like a flashlight, a follow spot in a
theater, or a headlight. A target spotlight uses a target object to aim the camera.
NOTE When you add a target spotlight, the software automatically assigns a Look
At controller
on page 3199 to it, with the light's target object assigned as the Look
At target. You can use the controller settings on the Motion panel to assign any
other object in the scene as the Look At target.
