    Is there a plugin that uses data from the AE lights to create Knoll-like lens flares, that interact with the camera?

    Nope. But what is stopping you from linking your lights via expressions to Knoll’s effect controls? Have you investigated that? I’ve done itseveral times and it works beautifully. Look at https://www.motionscript.com to see how it can be done with AE’s own lens flare effect and then adapt it for your purposes.

    I’ve never touched Expressions before but that’s fantastic. Thanks!

    The only thing I’m having trouble with is the distance/brightness. The code I copied into the Brightness field doesn’t seem to do anything.
