Interested in Adding a Cinematic Strobe Light Effect to Your Movie or Video Title? Follow the Steps Explained in Detail Here
In video editing, professionals put in different types of effects to create a unique feel to the visuals. In fact, there are different styles available that you can use in videos to create a specific feel in the viewers—case in point, strobe lights.
This technique involves a series of intense short flashes of light in sections of the clip that create a suspenseful or thrilling ambiance, amping up the horror feel in viewers and more. You might have seen many examples of this in horror movies, thrillers, suspense or action-filled movies, sci-fi films, etc. Similarly, adding the effect to the titles gives a cinematic feel to them.
As a film or video editor, are you interested in adding this effect to your own project as well? Luckily, you do not need significant technical know-how or invest in different types of high-grade equipment to manage it - Wondershare Filmora allows users to add the effect easily in the titles. Want to know how? Read ahead.
Launch the software first
Of course, before you can begin adding the effect to your video, you must have the software. The downloading process for Wondershare Filmora 11 is very straightforward as long as you have a Mac or Windows PC.
Free Download For Win 7 or later(64-bit)
Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later
First, visit the official website to download the software. The Download button at the top of the screen or the description box is available to click on. That will instantly allow the Filmora installer to download into your device.
Double-click on the installer from your notifications or browser downloads section, then click Install. Allow the prompt for permission approval when it comes up, and the installation process will begin. This would take a little bit of time, and you can tap on the Start Now button at the last window that opens.
Add the title
The editor will open automatically next. You have to tap on the Create New Project button to access the editing screen, tap on the Titles tab, and choose the Default Title. If you prefer another version, browse through the different title presets available as options and download the one you prefer.
Then, drag the title from this section and drop it into the editing timeline. Double-click on the title in the timeline to open the title editing window. Insert the text you want to add as the title in the text field and adjust the size, font, and other font modifications here.
Edit the title and click snapshots
Then, you should drag the title clip you added to the timeline to an upper section and click on the Media tab following that. Then, choose the Sample Color option from the listed menu and tap on the Black color choice. After doing so, drag it down to the timeline onto the track under the Default Title clip you added and moved up.
Consequently, click on the Snapshot icon at the right side of the toolbar just above the timeline. This will take a screenshot of the black color picture you added second.
Then you should double-click on the original Default Title you added and start editing your title text once more. This time, add the term you want to appear under your original title here. Adjust the font for it as something other than the original one. For example, if you put Motor Oil 1937 M54 as the first title font, set the second as Montserrat SemBold. Make more adjustments, if necessary, to the font. Then, retake a snapshot of it.
Insert the snapshots
Remove the two title clips you added to the timeline. You have to work with the Snapshots you took now.
It is possible that you will not see the Snapshots saved in your media folder. In this case, tap on the “Click here to insert media” section and go to the device library. It will open in the Wondershare Filmora folder; if not, search for it and access it.
In the folder, double-click on the Snapshot folder. Choose both of the Snapshots you saved right now from here and tap on Open to import them into Filmora.
Import additional music and background visuals
After you have imported the snapshots to Filmora, you have to tap on the Import File option again. Go to the folder where you saved specific files like Lens flare, background video, particles, and sound effect clips. If you have these previously saved in other folders, make sure to keep them all in one folder ahead of time and open that one here.
Choose all files and click on Open to add them to the Filmora software. Now starts the process of merging them all into one cohesive effect.
Drag the files into the timeline
The background video is the first file you will drag and drop to the timeline. For the best effect, choose a flashing light background video. Next, drag the first title you edited into Track 2, right above the first one. Make sure to adjust the length of the clip to match the background video length. Repeat the same for the second snapshot, adding it above the first snapshot in the timeline.
Edit the snapshots via Chroma Key and Composting
You must hide the second snapshot you added, i.e., the one in the 3rd Track on the timeline. After that, click on snapshot 1 and tap on the Chroma Key icon in the toolbar right above the timeline.
When the Chroma Key window opens, tap on the Select Color option and go to the “More…” option. Tap on the basic white color and click on OK.
Following it, move the slider for Edge Thickness to extend it and see the preview to know if you are satisfied with the amount. Then, click on the unhide icon for the second snapshot. Right-click on it and tap on the Composting option. Under the Blending Mode parameter, change the option to Screen. The title background will remove automatically.
Press OK.
Add the sound effect
Again, you must hide the second snapshot in the timeline with the same step as before. Then, drag the sound effect to the audio track timeline next. Tap on the Play button under the Preview to see how the effect looks with the sound. Cut out the extra second of the sound effect clip to align it with the ending section of all of the other clips.
Add the initial keyframes
Choose the first snapshot in the timeline, below the second snapshot, and above the background video clip. Then, double-click on it to open the editor window and choose the Animation tab this time instead of Image.
Add the keyframe here and change the value of the Scale parameter to 400 or something high like that. In the preview, you will see that most of the font in this title is out of frame. After this, click on Rotate and turn the font to 45 degrees.
Move your playhead on this snapshot clip in the timeline by at least 1 second. Then, add another keyframe in this location by tapping the Add button. Here, reset the Scale and Rotate parameters and press the OK button to end.
Add the lens flare and particle video
Next, go back to the media section where all the files you added are present and drag your lens flare clip to the timeline, right on the track above the last one you added. Drop it here and adjust the length of it to match others if it does not show that automatically.
Above it, drag and drop the Particles video from the media files you added previously onto the track above the lens flare one. Do the same to delete the spare part by moving the play head to that point, clicking on the scissor icon, and removing the extra part.
Then, double-click on this Particles video clip on the timeline and go to the Compositing section. Tap on the Blending Mode drop-down choice and choose the Screen option. Press OK. Next, repeat the same for the lens flare video and tap the OK button.
Now, play the preview again.
Adjust the second title, again
Remember how you clicked on the hide button for the second snapshot for title 2? Now, you have to click on the unhide icon beside it.
Move the play head to the 3-second mark from the beginning. If you need clarification on this, check if the lens flare effect is beginning to start below the first title at this point. Move your playhead to that point for the second snapshot.
Here, tap on the Split icon and remove the clip’s first half. Then, double-click on the second half and go to Animation. Press the Add button to insert a keyframe here and change the scale and position of the title at this point. Move it to the placement you want, right above the lens flare. Also, drag the slider for the Opacity parameter to zero at this point.
Subsequently, move the play head to the point when the lens flare effect stop, which is around 2 seconds more. At this point, you have to add another keyframe and change the Opacity to 100.
Play the preview of the whole thing to see how the effect looks in completion.
Conclusion
Indeed, the strobe light effect in the title of movies or videos of different lengths can effectively create a heart-stopping moment on the screen. Moreover, it can work to incite a feeling of anticipation in viewers, especially with the right music beat in the backdrop.
Using Filmora will allow you to add the cinematic effect quickly and efficiently with simple, quick steps. Follow the phases mentioned in this post while trying out different variations before settling on your final shot choice.

Step-By-Step Guide To Creating Halftone Effects In Photoshop
Halftone is a technique that uses dots to create a deliberate screen-like image and textured effect. In recent years, it has become trendy in digital design.
This effect is often used in magazines, newspapers, and other printed materials. When applied correctly, it can add depth and dimension to an image, resulting in a softer, more pleasing, and appealing look.
So, if you have ever wanted to add interesting effects and textures to your images, but weren’t sure where to start, then keep on reading to discover and learn everything you need to know regarding creating the halftone printing effect in Photoshop.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
What Are Halftone Effects?
Before we know how to create a halftone effect in Photoshop, let’s have a basic understanding of it first.
In the 19th century, William Henry Fox Talbot introduced the halftone screen printing effect to create the illusion of tones in black and white images.
The halftone originated from printers who previously only worked with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK ). The solid colors were tiny dots placed together closely with continuous tones that remained unchanged. From the mixing and matching of these four colors, a wide range of colors emerged.
The effect is usually created by putting dots of ink on paper in different sizes and positions. This illusion uses optical bleeding to make the desired impression on the human eye. These color dots act like analog pixels that result in a recognizable image.
For instance, when you look at a pixelated picture and zoom it, you will see missing details. When you zoom out, the photo gets more minor and back to its original form.
Modern Definition and Usage
In the 21st century, the halftone is a static-visual technique applied in print and digital images to create continuous tone imagery using dots that vary in spacing and size to create a gradient effect.
Halftone produces a deliberate screen-like image distortion in different fields, such as pop art, graphic designing, and screen printing, to create nostalgic or vintage effects and make the images more captivating.
How To Use Photoshop To Create Halftone Printing Effect
Below we’ve provided detailed step-by-step guidance on creating a color halftone effect as well as black and white halftone printing effects in Photoshop:
1. How to Create Color Halftone Effect
If you want to create a color halftone effect in Photoshop, do the following steps in a sequence:
Step1 Launch the Photoshop software on your laptop/desktop, and drag and drop the image file on which you want to apply the Halftone effect.
Step2 Click “Filters” in the top toolbar and select the “Pixelate” option from the drop-down menu.
Step3 Click the “Color Halftone” option from the menu. On the new pop-up window, adjust the radius and channel to configure the appearance of the effect.
That’s about it! You have successfully created the color halftone effect in Photoshop.
2. How to Create Black and White Halftone Effect
Follow these steps to create black and white halftone printing effect:
Step1 Open your image in Adobe Photoshop and click the “Image” option from the top taskbar.
Step2 Now, click the “Mode” option from the drop-down menu and select “Greyscale” to convert your RGB image.
Step3 Again, open the image menu and click the “Mode” option. From the drop-down options, click “Bitmap…”
Step4 A dialogue box will open. Set the resolution to 1000, 1,500, or 2,000ppi to create smooth edges on your halftone. Next, click “Halftone Screen…” under the “Method” header and click “OK” to proceed further.
Now, you can adjust the frequency (Lines/Inch), angle (Degrees), and shape (Circle, Line, Cross, etc.) to determine how big your halftone dots are at the maximum diameter and their direction.
Step5 Finally, click “Files” from the top taskbar, scroll down, and select “Save As…” Save your file as PSD or TIFF and import it to InDesign to apply color.
Video Tutorial - How To Create Halftone Effect | Photoshop 2022
To help you better put the guidance into practice, we have prepared a video tutorial to deepen your understanding.
Two Concepts You Should Know In Creating Halftone Effect
Apart from the practical guidance, there are two important concepts you need to be aware of: radius and channels. Below, we’ve discussed both of them in detail to make things more understandable to you:
1. Radius
Radius refers to the size of the dots that make up the halftone image and is an important factor in determining the overall look of the photo.
You can adjust the sizes of the dots to change the gradient, spacing in between, and blur of the color and image. However, if you want a more subtle effect, you will need to use a smaller radius. For a more dramatic effect, like vintage comics, old ads, or DIY grunge zines., you will need to use a larger radius.
2. Channel
Channel refers to the number of values that are used to create the image. The more values you use, the more details will be visible.
The Channel setting of halftone effects affects how the dots are positioned and overlap. Each Channel is governed by a Screen Angle setting, which is listed in degrees. Changing the value modifies the angle at which Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black dots are added to the pattern. When the dots overlap, a new color is created depending on the combination of the primary colors and black.
Conclusion
In this comprehensive guide, we’ve explored the halftone effect, how it originated and discussed its modern definition and usage. We’ve also provided step-by-step processes to help you create the halftone effect in Photoshop, both colored and black and white.
Furthermore, we discussed two important concepts (radius and channel) of the halftone screen printing effect to help you understand the technique in detail.
Hopefully, you’ve found this article helpful and can now add a new level of creativity to your images using the halftone effect in Adobe Photoshop.

An Ultimate Guide to Edit a Music Video: Aspect Ratio and First Cut
Are you planning to edit your music video? Do you need on out how to edit your first music video draft? Editing a music video is a creative task but can be challenging.
One of the key elements of this process is selecting the aspect ratio and making the first cut. In this blog, we will explore these steps in detail, providing important tips and tricks. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced editor, get ready to take your music video to the next level. Let’s get started.
Which software will you need?
As we have a lot of software in the market, we must select the right software for high-quality editing. Wondershare Filmora is an amazing video editing software. It offers a ton of video editing tools. You can add special effects, transitions, and more to make your music video captivating.
Free Download For Win 7 or later(64-bit)
Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later
Note: Before you start editing your project, make sure that you have a backup. You can copy the project to an external USB or hard drive for a backup.
Adjust the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is known as the size of the video frame. For example, the most common aspect ratios are 16:9 and 4:3. The first number represents the width, and the second represents the height.
You should always ask your cinematographer about the aspect ratio. There are chances when cameras won’t shoot at the intended aspect ratio they were framed for. In that case, you’ll need to crop or letterbox them when editing.
How to find the width/height of the frame?
Most of the frames that are being shot on the camera are 3424 pixels wide, which is a little under 4k. If you have a measurement of one side of the frame, you can find the other by using some math. Let’s suppose your frame is 3424 pixels wide. You can use this formula to find the height.
Formula: 3424 pixels wide x 1 high / 2.35 wide (or whatever your aspect ratio)
Now you can cancel out the width from the multiplier and the denominator.
= 3424 pixels wide x 1 high / 2.35 wide
Now you are left with the equation:
= 3424 pixels high / 2.35
After solving this equation, you will get the answer which is: 1457 pixels high. Let’s adjust it on the music video as well, follow the steps given below:
Free Download For Win 7 or later(64-bit)
Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later
Step1Open the aspect ratio setting tab
Open your music video project in Filmora and click on the screen icon, as shown in the picture.
Then select the Change Project Aspect Ratio.
Step2Add values
Now set the project Width to 3424 pixels and its Height to 1457 pixels. You can also adjust the frame rate by selecting the one in which you shot the video. Then click OK.
Assembly
The next step is assembly. You will arrange the shots, clips, and elements in this process and get everything in order. It can be daunting and inspiring for you, as it’s a blank canvas you are going to start with. Before editing, you can also get some guidance from your art director.
If your music video has shots of the band performing, drop them off first and sync them with the audio. On the contrary, if you are doing a narrative style, you can arrange the shots according to the story you want to portray.
Step1Drop the media
You can start by dragging and dropping the music onto the audio timeline. Then you can add the shots of your music video.
Step2Arrange the shots
Arrange the shots according to the storyboard you created and sync them with the audio.
Step3Add the title
Once you arrange all shots in order, you can add the title of your music video. Click on the Titles, then choose your desired style and add the name of your music video in the title box. You can also change the text’s size, font, and color.
Step4Flip the clip
One last thing is, if you shot any scene in mirror-image format, you can flip it. Click on the clip you want to flip and select the flip icon in the video properties.
Send your first draft
The first draft is the video in which you added audio and re-ordered the shots. You decided on the pace and flow of the video to create a basic structure. You made changes to make it interesting and captivating.
Before you put too much effort into editing your video, send it to your director, producer, or client for review. It will help ensure that any big changes can be made before you invest too much time in the edit.
For first drafts, you don’t need anything fancy. A lower-resolution and more compressed file can make sending it to a director or client much easier. You can also add a timer on the music video, so the person reviewing it can give you accurate timing on where he wants any revision.
How to add the timer in the music video?
- Click on Effects and search for Timecode in the search bar.
- Choose the timer style you like and drop it onto the new timeline.
- Extend the timer to the end of the video.
- Adjust the position and add the duration of your music video.
Now you are all set to export the first draft of your music video. You can also adjust the video format on the export option, but MP4 is recommended.
Conclusion
We hope this blog has helped you edit the initials of your music video. By adjusting the aspect ratio to fit the desired screen size and properly planning the first cut, you can lay a solid foundation for the rest of the editing process.
These two steps can greatly impact the overall look and feel of the final product. Remember to communicate with your director, producer, or client throughout the process to ensure that the final product meets their expectations.
