Creating the Background

You'll create the background in three easy steps by importing your movie file and applying two effects to it. The Hue/Saturation effect helps give the footage a uniform appearance, and the Glow effect further stylizes the imagery:

1.	Add the City_Background.mov file to the Master Timeline at time 0;00.
2.	To give the City_Background.mov layer a blue hue, apply Effect > Adjust > Hue/Saturation to the layer. Use these effect settings: Colorize (under Master Lightness): On Colorize Hue: 0x220 Colorize Saturation: 45 Settings for the Hue/Saturation effect
3.	To add some radiance to the city background, apply Effect > Stylize > Glow to the layer. Use these effect settings: Glow Threshold: 27% Glow Radius: 18 Glow Intensity: .3 Settings for the Glow effect The City_Background.mov layer with Hue/Saturation and Glow effects
