- In this After Effects motion graphic tutorial we are going to be taking a look at how to leverage the power of the light tool to give shadows and complexity to your project. This is essentially a tutorial on how to reproduce Material Design (Google) lighting in After Effects.

Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of film making and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.
Editor's Note:
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a thing or two about how to use lighting in after effects. Lights in after effects 2017 are great because they give you an alternative to the standard after effects drop shadow tutorial in after effects. The light tool is something that everyone should get their hands on and is essential for creating material design elements in after effects (material design templates / material design intro animations).
I love your use of background music, many people get it wrong and sometimes its nice to have some backing when listening to someone talk and teach, nice job
watched this tutorial around 1 year ago, didn't know after effects then. but now I know AE and so came back here again. Thanks dude for awesome tutorial.
Thank you!! You teach a lot better than those youtubers who show us how they do their work rather than teaching how you can apply it to any kind of thing.
Very impressive. I love it, look so smooth!
great !! thank you for all your inspiring and helpfull work
Your voice is very easy to listen to. thanks for the tutorial
very nice tutorial, thanks for sharing
i realy love your lectures, your tuts are good
Nice tutorial, i like the way how you explain ❤️
Best video sir...!
Thanks Ed!
Super Cool
Very nice tutorial! Thank you!
+Tando Moyo Glad I could help
Hey man, nice tutorial and nice background music
Thank you❤
Useful thanks! Have been wondering how to set up a kind of studio lighting rig for mograph work, but hadn't thought to use a spot with wide cone as the main light source.
Awesome tutorial
Thanks James
Subscribed! Good job mate. :)
Amazing
Hi Mike great tutorial. I just found your channel. Really nicely done and well explained too. Thanks a lot. Also big thumbs up to Motion 2 too. Matt (MtMograph) did a great job with that, love it.
Thank you very much i didnt mind that 3D is this kind of easy . :D
great video
tysmmm
thnx
very nice tutorial 👌
+Rotoy Productions Thanks!
+Mobox Motion Graphic Tutorials can it use in green screen .
Don't worry man, my head was hurting too! This is the first tutorial of yours I've run through and I love how concise you are with your script. Great job!
+Micah Gibson Yeah, I try and keep them concise with small chunks of useful information so people are always learning something interesting even if they aren't complete beginners. But it is really easy to get confused with layers, especially if you don't name them properly.
Mobox Motion Graphic TutorialsOne thing I am wondering is do you know of a way to render a composition with normal 1080p quality, but smaller file sizes? This render for me was 5.71 GB
+Micah Gibson Yeah, so you're likely rendering in "Lossless" with a .AVI file (or something like that). Although loss less is really god for high quality footage, it's a total storage hog. I recommend changing the codec to something such as H.243 (i think that's the name). In fact, I'll make a video about this exact topic.
***** Thanks man! I figured out that I had to install Quicktime and use the H.264 codec. The file size was reduced to about 100 MB.... Thanks though!
Hey how can I replicate the art deco vintage style used in Parallel studios unsatisfying video.
You are a beautiful person
thanks for your efforts
.... Oh God, explain my chest
true
Love it. As someone fairly new to AE and motion graphics, these tutorials are great. Sometimes it can get discouraging. last month I did rarely nothing, now i feel like im behind! I've wanted to check out some animation bootcamps, however i cannot afford it. I am thankful for great quality tutorials such as these :) thanks!
I am honored to participate
that looks like it could make a sick intro
+l Ninja l Yeah there are a lot of potential uses for this technique.
Gradient in thumnail was really impressive I mean there was no colour bending
In fact, you can copy the three card layers, thus forming a cycle, not afraid of confusion.
Nice One (Y)
+Viraj Aher Thanks!
I’m gonna get AE for my bday so that’s why I’m watching all this stuffs
Strawberry Latte Gacha why not get it for free🗿
hey what is the Motion 2 palette you have on the left ? I think you mention it at some point in the video. Can you expand on that ? Thanks !
its a script by *Mt. Mograph* called Motion 2
cool thanks
thanks for this great tutorial!
I have a question though, how does it come that in my after effects when i cast shadows the shapes begin to have thin black striped instead of shadows :O
I have the same issue... anyone have advice here?
decrease shadow darkness into 50 % ?
Only a year late here, but it's because all of your objects are in the same Z position. Basically the objects you want to cast shadows on eachother are colliding (hence no shadows). Simply move the objects back or forward in space (Z-Position) and they'll create shadows.
When I put a light ontop and check the right settings etc, a blur shape I use has a darker color around the edges of the top surface instead of just a shadow behind it, do you know how to fix that?
I have the same problem
Increase the light diffusion and decrease the opacity. Adjust ur settings to fit his, for some reason its not the same for some users.
How to add a motion tab like that?
Hi there. When i turn cast shadows on, shadows do not appear. What could it be?
I had the same problem, but i fixed it by going to the light layer > light options > casts shadows and turning it on, its weird
oh wait, thats wrong, you actually have to double click light layer and check the shadow box my bad
+Mobox I looking at replicating Google's material design concepts in AE. Did you find this method easier/better than using the AE template provided by Google?
I was unaware of a template provided by Google. I would guess that their template would better simulate material design. But this is a good template for a few aspects of material design.
First, I very much enjoyed the video and have subscribed. Here is the link to the templates (they call it "sticker sheets"). They provide presets for setting the shadows in 2D.

You are a fucking genius i fucking love you
My light doesn't go beyond the shape borders for some reason. Anyone know how to change this?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Don't appears the material options in a 3d composition layer... in a 3d shape layer, yes, but in a 3d composition layer, not... Why..? Thanks in advance.
Solved: Icon beside icon shy should be disabled (icon on mouse over= For comp layer: collapse transformations)(the icon looks like a star ) Disabled for comps and a material options appear.
it's doesn't working for me, I have gtx 1050 ti
Nice tutorial, but couldn't you've just use a camera in after effects and change the camera's position? It seems that that way would've saved time
null object acts as camera in that case. no need for more than a null for that stuff really
Make a Android Material Design Tutorial.....
I need more practice... I followed the steps (though simplified with just one rectangle) and I still have no shadows...
Tutorial is fine but it's hard to understand as a beginner.
Dont do Tutorials if you dont know what you're doing. Thats not how After effects Work
yeah like was he asking or telling us? If u gonna make a tutorial, you have to know and be confident about what you're doing. This guy is just playing around.
