Light Streaks Help Needed
Hi Guys,
I am totally new at AE, so this might sound very very basic:
I followed the Light Streaks tutorial by Andrew Kramer
https://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_page_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=https://www.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/nano/index.htmlEverything’s worked out fine, except that I need a white background rather than a black one that he has used.
Can someone plz help me out with that?
Thx

Great tut, I agree. I thought you could just change that Black “BG” layer to white and you’d be OK, but that didn’t work for me. The only way I could get a white background for the comp “Nano Ad” was to disable the Adjustment Layer (turn off the eyeball). You can now color the Particle by opening that “Particle_50” comp, adding an adjustment layer at the top, then Render>Fill (choose your color). Now all those masked layers are the color you want for your particle. Now back in the main comp, add the effect Glow to the “Particles” layer, the one with Particular on it.
Then Change the black “BG” layer to white (Ctrl Shift Y and choose white). Then it seems to me the smear is a bit too strong, so in the layer “Particles”I changed Particular>Particle>Opacity down from the tut’s 50% to 25%.
You should be good to go.
