Camera flash light effect?

[Steve Roberts]

Go to https://www.buena.com and download their effect essentials demo. The Camera Flash effect is free.

Of course, there are other ways to make that effect.

ahh, thank you so much for the help.
actually, I was looking for more like quick flash light from long distance.
Something like, so many people taking pictures with the little flash light in a baseball stadium or in a concert..something like that.

Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Meaning so as from the POV of an athlete looking back at the crowd. So the twinkling lights from all over the crowd?

Hmmm. Maybe messing with Vegas? If you own Combustion, Particle Illusion, or Motion, they have particle effects that look amazingly real for that effect. Of course you can give Particular or PP a go for it as well.

you could create a solid say, 10×10 and apply the lens flare effect. Keyframe it so that you have the effect active for 2 – 3 frames. Start at zero and at the forst keyframe increase to around 250%, then back to zero. (2 -3 frames later). You can also tweak it with Shine or any number of other effects. Once you have this layer made, duplicate it and adjust the position of each layer. When played from the timeline, you will have the effect of multiple flash’s going off. *(remember to alter the position of each layer or all your flashes will be in the same spot.

thanks a lot folks.

Well, I think it comes down to just time and labor work. I was trying to find something a couple click to make that happen, but I need to be a little less lazy to do this.

I’m going to try with the particular, but if it doesn’t look as I thought, then yeah!! gotta make a solid and duplicate a bunch to make it
I really appreciate your help.
