Dreamlight
Artbeats has a series of stock visuals they call “Dreamlight”. Does anyone know how this effect is created, and can it be worked in Adobe After effects.
Thx,

Eric –
Several of the Dreamlight backgrounds appear to have been created with a freebie plugin by Philipp Spoethe, a freelance programmer who develops stuff for Frischluft (see Frischluft.com for their commercial plugins). A few years ago he came up with a great plugin for AE called Sinedots, and it’s still available for free at:

You’ll probably want to grab sinedots 1 as well as 2, plus his Retrodots plugin (he has programmed them both for AE and Photoshop) on the same site. You can create some really cool stuff by just changing rotation parameters, looping them, etc.. It looks as if the half of the Dreamlight stuff is just Sinedots2 with a glow on it, and a couple of repetitions in different colors/parameters in additive mode.
Have fun. I have spent hours playing with these plugins and using them for backgrounds in various projects.

OK, they are so many and I think there is a different effect for any, but some of them can be created with some Trapcode plugins.
Take a look at (and download the projects) some of them https://www.trapcode-people.net/index.phpI hope it helps.
