** Update II: The FAQ's here!! Make sure to read it before asking anything about this tutorial!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What do you use to CAPTURE YOUR SCREEN?
A: It's a little freeware called Camstudio for Windows and can be downloaded for free at http://camstudio.org .
Q: How can I get MY LIGHTNING INTO MY FOOTAGE??
A: Once you're done with the lightning, grab its whole composition and place it in another composition where you already have your footage. Set its blending mode to "Screen" or "Add" and there you go.
Q: I don't find the BLENDING / TRANSFER MODES!
A: In the down-left corner of After Effects, there should be three very tiny buttons of which one will toggle the blending modes. If you don't find them, just right-click on a file in your timeline and you'll find an option to change its blending mode there.
Q: There appears some kind of BOUNDING BOX AROUND MY LIGHTNING when I try to bring it into my footage!
A: That's because your lightning's glow extends to the edges of the lightning's compositon. Go to the lightning's composition's settings and make the whole comp bigger, at least as big as your footage is. That should solve the problem.
Q: Where can I find cool SOUND EFFECTS FOR THE LIGHTNING?
A: At http://www.fan-files.com .
Q: How can I animate the START AND ENDING of the lightning??
A: Just start with a very small lightning, make it grow, and in the end, let it shrink again. You can achieve all this just by animating the starting and ending points of the lightning properly (start out close, increase their distance, then make them close again).
Q: How can I make the lightning's ORIGIN FOLLOW MY FINGERTIPS? I can't track it because of THE DISTORTION AND WAVE EFFECTS!
A: On the adjustment layer that holds those distortion effects, add a round subtraction mask around the starting point(s) of the lightning. Make it pretty wide and give it a very soft edge. That way, the distorting effects will still affect most of the lightning, but fade away from your starting point and not take effect on it. That should make it easy for you to make the lightning's origin follow your fingertipps or whereever you're shooting it from.
Q: I have ANOTHER QUESTION that hasn't been answered here!!!
A: Fine, then... *now* you can PM me about it or leave me a comment with your question here.
