OK so if you look at this image, my task is to add the Christmas lights around the edge of the poster. I have the wires and lights, I have the bloom and glare, BUT how can I generate a layer that only has the light on the sign? I want to set it up so the sign can be switched out in AE or Premiere, but the layer with the light spots will still affect it. That make sense?
The second image points to the light effect I'd like to capture on it's own layer.
