  Sunlight Effect

  Posted by Melissa Herrera on January 18, 2016 at 10:40 am

  Hi,

  Can anyone tell me how I create this kind of light effect in Adobe Premiere?
  I guess it’s not a lens flare…

  How is it called and how do you create one in Adobe Premiere?

  EXAMPLE: https://www.pikore.com/m/1123874603181060328_33213115

  Sorry, if this is a stupid question…not a pro at this… 🙂

  Thanks!

  What you have there looks to me like a “light leak”. This effect duplicates what can happen when film receives additional, unintended light exposure due to a hole or other small flaw in the camera body.

  A google search for “light leaks” will give you a variety of resources for these effects. One I use can be found at lightleaklove.com. It is free and can be used simply as an overlay right on the Premiere Pro timeline.

  System:
  Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
  Win 7 64-bit
  32GB RAM
  Adobe CC 2014 (as of 7/2015)
  256GB SSD system drive
  4 internal media drives RAID 5
  Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.

  Yep, search for “Free light leaks,” download and put on top of video, change blending mode to whichever you prefer (generally screen or soft light works well)
