Creating an LED sign in After Effects

UpdateLED and Casino light text effects in After Effects @ PVC is a collection of a few resources that share treatments on LED or light walls, casino lights, or Jumbotron-type looks using AE filters like CC Ball Action or Vegas.


Shortformvideo shows you a quick method to make an LED screen in Creating an LED signboard. This After Effect tutorial video (embedded below) uses the CC Ball Action filter and other standard tools in After Effects, so no 3rd party plug-ins are required.

For more LED effects, see the Scrolling LED Text in After Effects from Quba Michalski (a more involved technique using expressions), and the "Jumbotron" tutorials by Motionworks, Maltaannon, and Aharon Rabinowitz.
