Adding a Light to Sequencer

Start by adding a light to your sequence. To do this, click the + Track button and select Actor to Sequencer > Add ‘Light' . This will create a track referencing the light, any type of light Actor can be added as a track in Sequencer.

Whenever a light is added to Sequencer, it will automatically add some of its commonly used tracks to the sequence. In this example, the Intensity and Light Color tracks were automatically added to the sequence.

Animating Intensity

To animate a light's intensity, select the light's Intensity track and press the Enter key. This will set a keyframe with the current intensity value.

Finally, set a new intensity value by manipulating the value of the Intensity track. You can do this by either dragging it to update the value, or by selecting the textbox and typing the value directly. Either method will result in a new keyframe being created at the current time.

At this point you can drag the playhead along the sequence to preview your animation.
