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 FEATURES

On-Lens Simulations:
Simulate dust & scratches on your lens that becomes visible by the light source. Includes 12 HD lens textures or use your own.

3D Occlusion:
Obscure layers by alpha or luminance to simulate the light source going behind objects in the foreground. Works with 2D & 3D layers!

Luminance Tracking:
Generate a lens flare from bright spots in your video such as a particle system or matte layer. Control resolution and threshold.

Mask Positioning:
Animate lens flares along the contour of complex shapes with ease. Great for detailed shapes that would require extra key framing.

Auto-Shimmering:
Add smooth flowing shimmer to elements with self-propelling animation. Simply set the amount and speed of the animation. No Keyframes!

Chromatic Aberration:
Simulate realistic color bleeding around the outside of the lens. This effect also helps make the lens flares look more organic & natural.

Light Flickering:
Make lights appear more energetic with random light flickering featuring a unique seed for each light source. Choose from smooth or Twitchy.

32 Bit & GPU Ready:
Optical Flares renders up to 32 bpc offering high color fidelity as well as enhanced speed with Graphics card acceleration.

Flexible Core Objects:
Build stunning lens flares with the use of 12 powerful core objects. These elements offer unmatched flexibility with detailed control settings.

Precise Translating:
Control the position of each object with distance, offset and custom translation. These features are essentials to building anamorphic elements.

CREATIVE PRESETS

Visual Preset Browser:
Load Presets with 1-click and try out many looks for your project. You can add to or remove elements to get the perfect look. Experimentation is encouraged!
Optical Flares is designed to provide instant visual feedback when editing a lens flare and when loading presets. You can even combine multiple presets to create the ultimate Lens Flare that would be so bright that it would have a lens flare too!

Organize and Manage:
Make as many lens flare presets as you want and easily save and organize them into
subfolders for quick retrieval.
