LED and Casino light text effects in After Effects
A collection of a few resources
By Rich Young | November 29, 2011
In a new tutorial, Daniel Moreno shows you how to Create A Glittering Cabaret Light Display with Las Vegas bulb lights and make them shine in different patterns with Trapcode Starglow and Particular.
Here's a list of similar treatments that built LED, light wall, or Jumbotron-type looks with AE filters like CC Ball Action or Vegas:
- Create a Light Wall: tutorial & preset and Scrolling LED Text (pictured) by Quba Michalski
- Creating an LED sign in After Effects by Shortformvideo
- Creating Automated Flashing Light Patterns from RGTV
- 3D Ball Dispersion with CC Ball Action from Andrew Kramer
- Jumbotron in After Effects by Motionworks, Rabinowitz, and Maltaannon
- The Dot Pixels plug-in from Satya Meka at AE Scripts is useful to create LED screen effect, a porous surface effect, or abstract art. He later added TVPixel, a plug-in for After Effects and Premiere Pro, for a similar effect.
- LCD + video game looks discusses the LCDeffect script at AE Scripts by Tatsuro Ogata.
- Optical Flares comes with an advanced tutorial that builds a light wall
- Switch On This Casino Style Text Effect Tonight uses Video Copilot Optical Flares on a ton of layers and CC Particle World to create a distinctive look (preview below).
See also Bullet Riddled Text from CG Swot which uses Particular to create something not so different.

A comment on the AE TUTs casino lighting tutorial.
Very disappointed in this tutorial. Where is the part where you are taught how to make the little lights that make up the display? Isn’t that crucial to build your own version of the display? I know you are a pay service, but exclusion of this element is ridiculous. Take a lesson from Andrew Kramer and create tutorials that teach your users the COMPLETE process. The good will it will generate might even result in some folks joining your service. After this experience I certainly will pass at the opportunity.

Did you mean the tutorial by Tibor Miklos or the one by Daniel Moreno?
Yeah tutorials vary in coverage and quality, that’s why it’s important to reference several if you have a creative block.

Hi Rich. Daniel Morena. I was so enthusiastic to do the tutorial and felt cutoff at the knees when the light bulb text info wasnt there. I think Andrew Krama did one that tells how to make the bulbs so I will start from there. Just a bit frustrating :D
