Flickering Light Effect? was created by 0emma0

Hi! I was wondering if I could have a flickering light effect? It's not a strobe kind, where the video flickers between this and that, but one that is kind of like keyframing the exposure--which you can't do.

It's used in this video (sorry if it doesn't show up--I'm new to this site):

Easy, in Motion 5. You simply change the Group the clip is in to a 3D Group, then add a Light, adjust as needed. Then either apply a Parameter Behavior to the X parameter, or keyframe it manually.

This article may help.

Thanks, but I unfortunately don't have Motion.

Editing programs I have: FCPX, iMovie, After Effects.

You really need to get Motion if you have FCPX. I just happen to have a recent effects template for FCPX I created, which had the basic tools for this. Play with keyframing some of the Spot light parameters, set Ambient Intensity to zero, you'll get what you're looking for.
