  Light & Glows Overlays

  Posted by Matt Caruso on May 21, 2010 at 3:40 am

  I’m a beginner to After Effects and am trying to achieve a glow “overlay” kind of effect similar to the blue light rays coming from the corners of this video:

  How would I go about creating a glowing light object over video footage like seen in the video? Also, what about some of the blueish, blurry accents to the corners of the video?

  Thanks!

  for the blue tint- many ways to do it, one quick way is Photo Filter- Cooling Filter 80 or 82 (play with Density)

  Glow- good old AE glow- big radius, Color Channels based

  Rays in the corner- looks like Knoll Lens Flare- Arc Welder preset.

  One more thing- work in 32bit, it will give you a better look (once you got all the effects on switch between 8bit to 32bit and you’ll see what I mean)
