1. what is this?

Easy Neon Lights Maker It is a template that allows you to transform a simple "line design" into a
complex animated neon lights wall, while respecting the colors and the shape of your design.

The template comes with 25 presets scenes.

2. understanding how it works


The template works in a very easy way, to understand it in a very easy way, we will draw a simple line,
on a specific composition (”custom design comp”). This composition is affected by different effects
instances (one to make the neon lights OFF and her to make the lights ON).
And that is all. No matter what shape or te you put on the ”custom design comp” it will be
automatically processed and animated in the final composition.

3. working in my own design


To begin working whit our own design we go to Project panel:
Here we can draw our own design, using
the shape tools provided by A er Effects or
import our design from an Illustrator file.
Also it works with PNG files, but be care l,
because if the design is n a optimized
line design, the effect could be rare.

Some tip:
It is recommended to use a line weight between 14-18 pixels for best results. Also try to see how the
final image is reflected with a slight change of the same color, a red, a lighter red, or pink, etc.
