This is an effect i figured out for myself, after wanting to do light writing. The slides go quick so use the pause button. The music was made in Logic Pro.

  • Yeah!!!!!! I've been looking all over for this! I knew for videos it was going to be an AE setting and not a special camera!

  • Haha thanks for the comment.. The enthusiasm makes me happy

  • Im using After effects CS3 no effects>Adjust>the brightnes.....

  • sorry for the late reply, but there should be something that adjusts the brightness and contrast to where you need it. I know in photoshop you can accomplish this with the effect "Curves" This is where you are editing the characteristic curve of an image. The steeper the curve the more contrast (actually called gamma) and the lower the curve (y-direction) the lower the average pixel counts) so you are looking for a curve that has a steep slope and low value. Now the brights will stick out.

  • I will soon videorespond to you. Althou I did not do mine on After Efects, I made it usuing echo, ghosting in adobe premirere pro 2.0

  • oh cool, I'm excited to see
