Motion Blur & Lens Flares NOW AVAILABLE!

We recently added a new feature to Optical Flares to generate native Motion Blur. This makes a lot of sense because when your light source is moving rapidly it becomes blurred and naturally the flare elements should follow. Sorry for the back-to-back plug-in updates but this one is actually fun!

The feature is simple to use, just turn on motion blur for the layer and comp switch, then adjust the samples in the plug-in Motion Blur roll-out.

The light streaks in the sample video are made with Particular and the light is moving with a wiggle expression.

Remember, too many motion blur samples can be slower so adjust the value as needed for your project.

  2. hmmm… I really would like to own one of those cool plugins ….all I can do is watch…:(

    Anyway I just hope one day I’ll get one of these…

  3. Nice little title seq.. After I played it at speed I panned threw the entire clip with my arrow keys and found that each frame could be a great title image. Each frame has a great look to it. Especially the frames where the light source is right over the “I” in Optical.
    Really nice, even just as a demo.
