Lights stopped working?
Hello, Can anyone help me please. Lights have stopped working in After Effects CS2 PC. I can import lights from old projects when it was working but when you add a new light it doesn’t work whatever settings you use.
Any Ideas?
Cheers
Neil

This probably isn’t your solution, but just remember that lights only work on 3D layers, are the layers you want your lights to work on set to 3D?

The layer is set to 3D, see attached image.

I have to resurrect this thread because I had a similar case today. In the comp of a project where there were a bunch of comps, just one comp had its light layers stop working. I had a save of the project where the lights would be working so I imported it open the comp where the lights worked copied all the layers and pasted them in the comp where the lights would not work (before I deleted al the layers in there)
and guess what, the lights would not work again… I finally copied the comp and replaced the whole comp and then it did work. The only suspicion I have is that this was a project converted from CS4 to CS5 other than this I wouldn’t guess coz I checked everything and having worked with AE for more than 15 years I know quite a bunch of tricks…
Any Idea?(we’re at a thousand miles from a “3D layer switch on or off” issue here, I guess…)
