  Posted by Brendan Gibbons on July 22, 2011 at 7:49 pm

  A simple FCP X Effect preset, using a Motion lighting source to help give a dynamic mood and lighting effect to you shots.

  FCP X Effect: BG A little Mood Lighting Please

  – Position, Rotate light Source
  – Choose light source colour
  – Light source intensity, falloff, angel and softness control
  – Light mix control to balance the effect back against the original image
  – You could make the light hard edged an use it to highlight a face in a crowd if you really wanted!

  Best of all, if you don’t like it or it doesn’t quite suit… open it in motion and tweak away.
