Common Lighting controls and Material controls
Several of the Simulation effects have some common controls. The Card Wipe effect also shares many controls with the Card Dance effect.
Lighting controls
Specifies which type of light you want to use. Distant Source simulates sunlight and casts shadows in one direction, where all the light
rays strike the object from virtually the same angle. Point Source is similar to a light bulb and casts shadows in all directions. First Comp Light
uses the first light layer in the composition, which can use a variety of settings.
Specifies the power of the light. The higher the value, the brighter the layer. Other lighting settings affect the overall light intensity
as well.
Specifies the color of light.
