    HI im a premiere pro user, working on a music video at the moment.

    There is a certain style of look I’m trying to emulate and achieve. During shots sometimes there are burst of colour lights or flashes of light and its mostly used during transitions and dissolves that gives it a very stylised look especially to slower footage. It only appears for a a second.

    If this is done in the edit application then im guessing it cant be TWITCH because its an After Effects plug in and how can it be added to transitions between two clips when your usually dealing with one clip in AFX.

    you can see the lights im referring to in both of these clips

    Anyone have any idea on how to achieve these, is it a plug in or simply just playing around with keyframes on some colour correction options in premiere pro ?

    Hi Alper,

    This can be as simple as shooting your own footage with quick overexposure changes and adding that on top of your existing clips using custom overlay modes.

    You can try:

    1) Duplicate a clip over itself in the sequence
    2) Add a Blur effect to the duplicate
    3) CHange the Blend mode off the duplicate to add
    4) Trim the clip shorter (to length of flash desired)
    5) add fast dissolves at head and tail

    These are actually called “light leaks”. There are already made VFX you can purchase, or try making them yourself.
