To key out the black background of the light streaks use Unmult which is a free plugin found here:

Have fun!

Those of you having trouble exporting with alpha - try a search for unmult - that might help... what i wanna know is why the light turns and revolves on itself as it changes direction with the wiggle function - surely it should just move in x.y,z not revolve?

I thought i could use this as a simple tutorial for streaming lights(like Design 9 in Video Stream HD) but it got to complicated for that and I realized that there is probably an easier way to have shooting lights. I haven't been able to find a tutorial on this.

It's a great tutorial. I'll use the effects for my presentation. But I've also problems with the export:

How can I export the streaks without losing the color?

The color is loosing if the BG isn't Black. It must possible to use the the Light Streaks with another BGs, isn't it?
