How to bring-up Lighting Effects Presets

I am exploring CS6 features (as a new users) and following an on-line course. I selected Lighting Effects Filters but I cannot see any Presets, for example Soft Lights, the PREVIEW, CANCEL, or OK buttons on a ribbon that should appear at the top of the screen.

Hi J_Giovanni, do you have the the toolbars hidden? Can you please try pressing the 'F' and Tab keys to toggle interface elements on and off?

How do we transfer Audition effects presets from CC to 2014?!

Welcome to Day 3 of Adobe CF. Finally got Premiere issues smoothed out. Apparently today is Audition Headache Day.
Can anyone explain to the community how we can export the effects presets from Audition CC and import them for use inside Audition CC 2014?
Thanks in advance.

For other PC users asking the same question, copy EffectPresets.xml from the 6.0 folder and place in the 7.0 folder according to the path below. Obviously Adobe couldn't be bothered to make sure these settings migrated and thereby forced you to go on this grand search for a solution instead of using their software to be productive and make media.

How to create this lighting effect in Premiere Pro or After Effects?

Hey,
I'm a student and premiere beginner and I'm trying to make my first video in premiere. In this video, Drawing Channing Tatum - YouTube , you will see that lighting effects in the first 10 seconds. How can i create this?
I thank you so much!
Marie

That is stock footage of the ends of a film roll exposed to light during the loading process that is simply laid over the video with the add or screen blend mode applied. You can search for "film damage" stock footage and find something that would work from stock footage houses. You can fake your own with shape layers, blurs and opacity animations using the same add or screen blend mode. It's just much harder to get the film damage to look "real."
Here's what my google search turned up as the first link to stock footage. I have no relationship with this company and have never used their footage.

You could also just get your smart phone close to a lightbulb, make sure it's out of focus and then move it around.

How do I get Lighter Effects work space?

I am having problems with Lighter Effects. I can't seem to get it to open its work space. I go into Filters, Render Lighter Effects and click on it. When I do, it blinks the properties and then adds a layer naming it Lighter Effects. But it never opens the work space. It only sometimes opens up the Lighter Effect properties. And without the work space, I can't do anything with the properties anyway.
I need a way to fix this so the Lighter Effect work space appears when I click on the Lighter Effects in the Filter Render. I have just re-installed and updated Photoshop CC 2014, if that helps those out there helping people like me who are not experts at Photoshop.

You can find the system requirements by clicking on the hyperlink in my previous post.
Re: 3D, you should be able to, for example, open a 3D model via 3D > New 3D Layer from File. Or you could select a normal 2D layer and go to 3D > New Mesh from Layer. If you can't do this your video card does not meet system requirements or the driver may need to be updated.
If your Lighting Filter is working properly your window should look something like this:

How to Separate a Lighting Effect from the Original?

The pictures below demonstrate what I am doing. What I would like to accomplish is to have only the lighting effect on it's own. I am using the CC Light Rays plugin and it does not have a mix adjustment setting. Hopefully this can be done and any help would be grately appreciated.

Andrew is right, but if I'm understanding this correctly, color from source is checked by default.
This needs to be turned off as well for the light effect to appear with your footage.
You proabably also want to duplicate the source layer and place it underneath the layer with the new CC Light Rays Transfer Mode settings...

How to save a customized effect preset ?

If I need to apply a customized video effect to multiple clips, how can i do it ? Is it possible to save my customized effect as new preset ?
Thanks

Robbie
yes it is, however it involves an additional step.
Right clicking on any of your effects or transitions gives you the "Open a copy in Motion" option, all of your effects and transitions (99% or so) are actually motion templates, fully editable, customisable and able to be saved as your own customised version.
What you are unable to do at this stage is right click on the effect or transitionon the storyline and open/save it, you need to construct it in motiona nd then apply it.
Hope this helps

Saving Sequence and Effects Presets that go with the project itself

Hi, please be gentle as I'm a newbie to the site.
I have been asked to create several master Premiere Pro projects in CC (templates if you like) that will be being sent to quite a few ops worldwide, many of whom are completely new to the Adobe Platform, so I would like to keep things as simple as I can for them.
Is it possible to create sequence presets and a few effects presets that actually go with the project. At the moment when I've tried opening projects on another machine with a different user account, it overwrites everything with their presets and I can't find anything to stop that from happening. I'm assuming it's to do with sync settings.
However, is there a function to allow premiere pro to open the project with the project's last settings (sequence and effects presets) rather than default to the user prefs? As an aside, I'm not interested in workspace or keyboard shortcuts - that's down to them!
If it's not possible, is there a very simple step-by-step workflow I can use? But I'd really like to avoid trying to explain how to install sequence and effect presets to loads of different ops if I can!!
Finally (wrong forum I know) but I need to do exactly the same thing with the assocated After Effects master template projects, so any help on that would be gratefully received too.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
When it comes to effects presets, you should be able to right-click on the Presets in the Effects bin and Export Presets...
The ops can then import the presets using the same method (right-click on the presets in the effects bin and choose Import Presets...)
For sequence presets, I can't find a way to do it within the software. Someone else will probably have to help you find it, but I'm certain there is a file somewhere in your computer that stores all of your Sequence Presets, so it would be a matter of finding and sharing that file with the ops, and then telling them where to put that file.
Hopefully this helps out a little bit!

How to remove effect presets from a clip?

I'm learning how to use Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe's official Help document.
I'm currently working through Chapter 10, "Applying effects", section "Working with effect presets" -> "Apply an effect preset".
The Help document doesn't tell how to remove an effect preset you had applied.
I've tried to follow the instructions for removing regular effects, but they don't seem to work in the case of presets.
How can i remove effect presets from a clip?

I suspect it's actually a standard PE terminology that i'd better get acquainted with.
I wanted to address this part separately. Actually, "workflow" is more of a video, or at least NLE term, and is not specific to PrE.
As for terminology, this ARTICLE might prove useful.
As I attempt to point out, some of these terms might be applied slightly differently, depending on the exact program used. As a for instance, PrE 8 has moved all of the Export options to Share. I still write "Export/Share" in case a PrE 2 through 7 user reads it. Terms can change. Also, Avid might call one common operation by one name, and Final Cut Pro use a different one.
For me, I had to learn some new terms. I can from a film background. Terms were changed with video. For instance, my old Fade-to-Black is now Dip-to-Black in most NLE's. First time that I typed Fade-to-Black, everyone came back with "huh???"
I read a lot of books on general editing of both video and audio. Some authors use different programs, and though the core theories are the same, their terminology can be rooted in their program of choice.
Also, with regards to audio, many still use a lot of the terminology from the analog days, and keep them, because analog is still part of the workflow in most productions - think of the mics, for instance. There is generally less analog left in video, unless someone needs to telecine film to digital, or transfer VHS tapes to digital. More of the total workflow is all in digital, so my old film school terms have faded.
One of the things that I attempt to do is differentiate exaclty what I am talking about. If I type video, I mean video in general. If I type Video, I am talking about the video Assets in a Project. Notice that Assets is also capatilized, as that is a term from the NLE and is specific to all things, SFX, Video, Audio, etc. used. Sometimes I slip up. I use project to mean the whole thing, and Project to mean the setup in the NLE, that will result in either a .PREL, or .PRPROJ file from my Adobe editors. Does this make sense?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to add in render, lighting effects filter?

I don't know how to use a light layer in After Effects CS4

Hello,
I work with a lot of texts layers and it's very trendy to put a light layer across the text at one point or another, it looks really good too. But I've looked on the net for tutorials and can't figure out how to use the light layer so that a light goes across a text from one side to the other. It looks like a flash light went across the text. I go to the top and choose >Layer >New >Light.
What happens is the color of the text changes (the part that isn't shined upon). How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change? Do you know of any video tutorials to use for a light layer?
Thank you for your time!!

How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change?
That is kind of a paradox. The whole point of using 3D lights is to have them illuminate the layer, including all shading properties. Color is defined by the layer's base color multiplied with light color and intensity. You really need to set your mind into 3D mode. That aside, I wouldn't bother using a light with flat text. Simply create a feathered circle on top (or 2 or 3), set blending mode to add and animate it across your type.

How can I duplicate a light source in the Render Lighting Effects Filter?

hello --
when using the filter Render > Lighting Effects, is it possible to duplicate a lightsource? My goal would be to have a light source of the exact same dimensions just offset on the canvas? any suggestions or tips much appreciated.
thank you in advance,
patrick.

Anyone have an idea about this? In the old lighting effects, you could Option-drag (Mac) a light source to clone it, but that doesn't seem to work in CC.
If I'm trying to create a night version of a building with multiple gooseneck lamps, it's difficult to get several lights to all look the same if I can't clone the first one created.

How to "analyze" multiple clips with "Warp stabilizer"-effect preset

Is there a simple way to "analyze" multiple clips that have the Warp Stabilizer effect attached?
I have a sequence with 100 clips, which all have a customized Warp Stabilizer effect preset attached. I can attach the effect to all the clips very easily, but afterwards I have to manually press "Analyze" on each clip, which is quite irritating... Is there a shortcut?
I don’t use nesting because I have to tweak the effect-settings on some of the clips…

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Yes, sadly custom presets with warp stabilizers don't work correctly. You have to go hit analyze manually for every clip. For you that may be quicker than changing your two settings for each clip. It is a bummer though. We actually use this effect several hundred times per week and prefer the "Position, Scale, Rotation" method in the settings but we can't use the custom preset because it doesn't properly re-analyze automatically like the default effect does. I'm not sure whether it'd be a bug report or a feature request (in my opinion it's a bug) but definitely report it to the link above.

FAQ: How do I migrate my saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them?

You now have the option to migrate presets from a previous version, export presets and to save to a directory as a zip file (great for instructors).
Preset Migration migrates your saved presets, not your preferences. The message says "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?" It simply carries on the preset files you have already saved (things like Brush Tips, HDR Toning presets, Curve presets, Styles etc.) to CS6.
HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AUTOMATED PRESET MIGRATION
Photoshop CS6 offers the great new functionality of automated preset migration for your custom presets from Photoshop versions as far back as CS3.
When Photoshop CS6 launches for the first time, it checks for previous installations of Photoshop on the computer to see if there are custom presets that need to be migrated. Photoshop looks in each of these presets folders for your saved custom preset files that it can migrate.
Preset migration script copies all the files in user preset folders of older versions. If there are more than one preset files with the same name, presets from the newer version will be given priority. These types of presets will be migrated by the script:
3DLUTs, Actions, Black and White, Brushes, Channel Mixer, Color Books, Color Swatches, Contours, Curves, Custom Shapes, Deco, Duotones, Exposure, Flash 3D, Gradients, HDR Toning, Hue and Saturation, Levels, Lighting Effects, Lights, Materials, Meshes, Optimized Colors, Optimized Output Settings, Optimized Settings, Patterns, Render Settings, Repousse, Scripts, Styles, Tools, Video, Volumes, Widgets, Zoomify, and Workspaces
If this is not your first launch and you would like Photoshop to look for presets,
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets
When Photoshop notices that you have custom presets saved in their appropriate folders it will give the message "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"
Choose Yes. Photoshop will begin the preset migration script.
When the migration has completed Photoshop will pop up another message saying:
"Preset files from older versions successfully migrated"
In order to use your newly migrated presets, you must restart Photoshop.
If you had Photoshop CS6 beta installed and have saved custom presets, you will need to export those presets before uninstalling the previous version and installing the release version of Photoshop CS6.
HOW TO SAVE PRESETS
For PS, check that you have saved all your presets using:
Edit>Preset Manager... (in previous versions) Edit>Presets>Preset Manager... (in CS6)
HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRESETS
In the main PS menu,
Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets
In this dialog you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version using the same Export/Import dialog.
If you have gone through the automated preset migration and notice that some of your presets didn't get migrated with the rest, make sure you have exported your presets to their default folders.
PRESET FILE LOCATIONS:
(Note that there are two different folder locations for presets, one for application provided default presets, and one for user created preset files)
These are the presets that are unique to each user on the computer. These can be migrated automatically: (this is the location that the user should save their personal presets in)
Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Mac: Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
These are the default presets that ship with Photoshop. These presets can be imported but will not copy over using the migrate feature because each version of Photoshop will install defaults for that version.
Windows 64 bit:
    [Hard Drive]:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets
WindowsXP and Windows7 32 bit:
      [Hard Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
Mac:
    [Hard Drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Frequently used preset filename extensions:
ABR Brush preset
ACO Swatch preset
ASL Style preset
ATN Action preset
CSH Custom Shape preset
GRD Gradient preset
PAT Pattern preset
SHC Contour preset
Here is a helpful tutorial:

Do you have an iPhoto Library from the old machine? If you have then simply open it - there's no importing involved.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If you don't have an actual library there is no way to do what you want.
