The best place to
learn Raylight
Short lessons on the editor, cinematic effects, and getting paid as a creator.
Getting started with Raylight
Turn a screenshot or a Figma paste into your first animated scene. A tour of projects, the canvas, layers, and the timeline.
Start lessonCore concepts
The four parts of the editor, and how they fit together.
EditorThe canvas
Flat to work in, 3D underneath. The tools, layer depth, and turning edits into animation.
EditorLayers
The left sidebar: the File tree of every scene and layer, multi-select and grouping, and the Assets library.
EditorThe timeline
The whole video as scenes, and one scene up close with its layers, camera, and audio.
EditorDesign and Animate
The right sidebar: Design for how a layer looks, Animate for how it moves. Same layer, two views.
Guides
Camera moves, cinematic effects, and getting paid.
EditorFilm your first cinematic shot
Move the camera like a filmmaker. Learn the difference between a dolly and a zoom, set focus, and let the scene breathe.
EffectsAdd depth of field, bloom, and grain
The look that reads as expensive. Rack focus to guide the eye, bloom for soft highlights, and a touch of grain for texture.
EditorExport and share your video
Save your finished video as an MP4 or GIF, or send a link people can open and watch. Plus what the free plan covers.
