ADVANCED FEATURES

3D LENS FLARES
Optical Flares will automatically calculate size and intensity based on your 3D Lights.

• Generate lens flares from AE 3D lights
• Works with lights exported from your 3D applications
• Create multiple flares with 1 instance of Optical Flares
• Choose to render Flares for specific lights only

REAL TEXTURES
Add realism with lens artifacts from actual photographic elements to create the most genuine lens flares ever seen!

• Over 25 built-in textures to choose from
• Use custom layers from your project in a flare
• Auto-rotate textures towards light for realistic movement
• Custom layers can be still or animated

DYNAMIC TRIGGERING
Static lens objects come to life with dynamic triggering to create natural animations without keyframes!

• Recreate organic animation with several trigger types
• Create a flash of light as your flare exits the frame
• Iris elements change size as they drift away
• Trigger area can be previewed for precise animations

KEY FEATURES3D Lens Flare Creation StudioOn-Lens SimulationsSimulate dust and scratches on your lens that becomes visible by the light source. Includes 12 HD lens textures or use your own.3D OcclusionObscure layers by alpha or luminance to simulate the light source going behind objects in the foreground. Works with 2D and 3D layers!Luminance TrackingGenerate a lens flare from bright spots in your video such as a particle system or matte layer. Control resolution and threshold.Mask PositioningAnimate lens flares along the contour of complex shapes with ease. Great for detailed shapes that would require extra key framing.Auto-ShimmeringAdd smooth flowing shimmer to elements with self-propelling animation. Simply set the amount and speed of the animation. -No Keyframes!Chromatic AberrationSimulate realistic color bleeding around the outside of the lens. This effect also helps make the lens flares look more organic and natural.Light FlickeringMake lights appear more energetic with random light flickering featuring a unique seed for each light source. Choose from smooth or Twitchy.32 Bit and GPU ReadyOptical Flares renders up to 32 bpc offering high color fidelity as well as enhanced speed with Graphics card acceleration.Flexible Core ObjectsBuild stunning lens flares with the use of 12 powerful core objects. These elements offer unmatched flexibility with detailed control settings.Precise TranslatingControl the position of each object with distance, offset and custom translation. These features are essentials to building anamorphic elements.
