Spot Light (Single)

Compatibility

Spot Light (Single) is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere and After Effects.

Parameters

Presets

Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. 8 built-in presets are available.

When you save parameter configuration to a file on disk, this file can later be loaded to recreate the same effect configuration. Presets generated in one video application can be used by the same plug-in running in a different video application.

Working with the Presets Menu

Brightness

Set to 2 by default. Only values between 0 and 100 are allowed.

Concentration

Set to 0.1 by default.

The slider is limited to values between 0 and 1 but you can type values between 0 and 0 by clicking on the current value in the inspector and typing the desired value in. Some video applications also allow you to click and drag the value beyond the range accessible through the slider.

Light Position

A point parameter.

Initial location in the frame

Light Points At
