Turn a light on during a video.

I am creating a thunderstorm scene, at one point I want a couple of thunder lights to flash on an off once or twice only.

The neon effect has no limit of flashes or any additional control.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks.

Hi ,

​

You could maybe try using View Sets in combination with Video Parts.

​

You would first create two view sets: one with the lights on and one with the lights off.

​

Then in your video, have Part 1 of the video lead up until you want the flash and assign it to use the view set with the lights off in the Video settings. Create a new Part of the video and assign it to use the View Set with the lights on. You can then create another part right afterwards which would use the view set with the lights off to continue.

The only problem with this approach would be that video parts can only be as short as 1 second, so the flash effect wouldn't be very quick.

Best,

Hello,

That sounds totally doable.

Thank you for the suggestion.

As for the 1 second video part, I believe that I will ba able to cut it down on Vegas Pro when editing.

Thanks again.
