    What are you applying Advanced Lightning to? If it’s to a video or still layer, check the “Composite On Original” Box near the bottom in the Effects Controls palette (F3).

    If it’s to a solid, you should have transparency unless you check that box. Putting it on a Black solid is often handy (box unchecked).
