Camera Tool
Posted by Kim on July 25, 2005 at 3:43 amHi there,
Does anyone know how to use camera tool in AE to create the effect of camera flash for an image?
Thanks for any useful advice.

You could search the COW for “camera flash” or download the demo of Effect Essentials. It includes a Camera Flash plugin which should be enabled, unlike the rest of the plugs in the demo, which are disabled in some way.

You should put the effects in the following order:
Blur
Glow
Levels—————————————-
