How to add lighting to a footage in Adobe Premiere Pro

        You probably always wanted to add a spotlight onto a subject to make a nice cool atmosphere towards your audience. This lighting effect is a very cool effect that can be used in many ways in Adobe Premiere Pro (All versions)

First, open Adobe Premiere Pro and import a footage or image into your project and then drag it onto your timeline. You can then look into your effects tab:

Then open up the video effects and click on adjust , then drag the lighting effect under adjust onto the footage in your timeline. Go to the effects control of the footage and you can see the effects of the lighting effect:

A nice light will show on your video which is light 1 in the control tab. Click on light 1 , to start to play with its position:

To play with its position change the center of it and then you can play with its size by changing its radii (Major and Minor) and then you have its angle and intensity. The focus will increase the light over all over the video. The same goes for other light if you want to add. The light type can give you the chance to add it as a spotlight if you have a show and want to focus the spotlight on the subject. You can also change the light color.


That's the most important part of lighting effects.
