  Lens flare with alpha for Avid

  Posted by Patrick Longstreth on April 13, 2006 at 8:29 pm

  How do I render out a lens flare(just a lens flare) in aftereffects, with an alpha channel, such that it will come into the Avid with a clean alpha channel?

  One way (of many) is to put the Lens Flare on a black solid and use the free plug-in, Unmult. Unmult will recreate the opacity or alpha channel of a layer based on the luminance of the image.

  YOu can find the plug here:
