  New Lens Flare Tutorial

  Posted by Andy Dolphin on November 6, 2015 at 12:00 pm

  My first Motion 5 tutorial demonstrates a simple method for building a basic lens flare effect entirely in Motion 5.

  Motion 5 Lens Flare Tutorial – part 1

  It’s not intended for photo-realistic effects but with a little work, it can produce attractive results.

  Part 2 will hopefully not be too far away.

  Part 2

  Adding the Lens Flare Generator and a replicator. The whole flare assembly is animated using a single controller.

  Some steps could be simplified by duplicating layers or copying links then simply changing parameters.

  I used the flare built in the tutorial to create the final transition by exporting a short Pro-Res file then importing into the composite project (also done in Motion 5) and adding a blend mode.

  There’s plenty more that can be done to this to make it more interactive and adaptable.
