    I am working with Boris Red and I am needing lightning for an animation. I have After Effects but I am having trouble figuring out how to export lightning from AE so that I can import it into Boris to use with my animation. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    May His grace and peace keep love strong within your heart and home.

    How about just rendering your lightning out with an alpha channel and importing it into Red? If you need an alpha channel you may prefer to use Advanced Lightning which will generate one automatically. Otherwise for the basic Lightning effect you’ll need something like Knoll Unmult or FAN’s Xmult (free download – do a google search). Either of these will create an alpha for your lightning.
