LightPaint Learning Studio

Rehearse the light painting before the room goes dark.

The Learning Studio turns an unfamiliar long-exposure technique into a scene you can see, rotate, rehearse, and then carry directly into the camera. Build the room, watch the movement, test the result, and begin the real capture with the same profile.

01 · A teacher inside the scene

See the whole performance, not a list of instructions.

The 3D performer demonstrates the physical sequence from tripod setup to the finished gesture. Orbit the stage, change the view, and follow the action at your own pace before anyone starts the exposure.

Mount the phone and set the performer position
Follow wake, record, walk, raise, and paint cues
Scrub, pause, replay, or slow the guide at any point

02 · Your room becomes the rehearsal room

Photograph the location. Match the stage to it.

Take a reference frame from the tripod or choose an existing image. Match Scene Lighting uses that background to light the performer, while Auto Tune can dial the real camera for the same environment.

Use the front or rear camera from the tripod position
Adjust scene brightness and spill around the performer
Test Frame Blending before opening the camera

03 · A studio that scales with you

Start with a heart. Graduate to your own movement.

Choose a guided word, heart, star, spiral, light streak, butterfly, dragon, or stick figure. Pro adds custom words and lets your own rear-camera motion recording drive the performer.

Tool, color, output, scene brightness, and spill controls
Two-hand variants for symmetrical light shapes
Save the result as a reusable shooting profile

Questions

The important details, plainly answered.

Does the Learning Studio control the real LightPaint camera?+

Yes. It can prepare a profile and open the actual camera with those settings. If the Studio was opened from an active camera, the profile can be applied in place.

Can I use a photo of the real shooting location?+

Yes. Take a reference photo from the tripod or choose one from the library, then use it as the stage background and as the basis for scene-light matching.

Can the avatar write my own word?+

Yes with LightPaint Pro. Custom words are normalized for a clear guided performance, while the included guide also offers a ready-made LIGHT sequence.

Can I teach the avatar my own movement?+

Yes with LightPaint Pro. Record a rear-camera motion take and use it to drive the on-screen performer during rehearsal.

Can I put the guide on a larger screen?+

Yes. Use LightPaint’s external-display support with a compatible monitor, television, or projector, including USB-C to HDMI setups, when the performer needs to see the guide from across the room.
