Customizing Lens Flares Inside Smoke
Using VideoCopilot’s Optical Flares for After Effects
Lens flares are the new lens flares. Lens flares have made a comeback of late, largely due to recent developments in software that allows lens flares to behave in a more realistic manner with border adjustments and occlusions. Long are the days when all we had was a stock 35mm default flare. Now there are many good plug-in options. Red Giant’s Knoll Light Factory is a classic but is feeling a bit aged, even with its new 3D Flare add on, currently in beta. Genarts Sapphire v6 has a new reworked lens flare option, which is much improved over previous versions, and Optical Flares from Video Copilot is quite spectacular. More on Optical Flares in a minute… First you need to know how lens flares work inside Smoke.
Tip Tuesday: Disable a clip in the Avid Media Composer timeline
It’s not as nice as a built-in clip enable / clip disable contextual menu but it works.
In honor of TipTuesday over on Twitter I thought I’d share this simple Avid Media Composer tip that I use to counter the lack of a clip enable / disable feature in Media Composer. It’s all about saving an effect and getting easy access to that saved effect. There’s actually several tips in here that can be used for most all effects in Media Composer.
