Flare plugin

Video Copilot’s Optical Flares should be able to do that.

Great thanks!

However, I’ve run into a problem when using the flare. I place the flare on a solid and enable transparency using UNMULT knoll, but am still getting a light outline (see pic)

How do I get rid of it?

Check out this tutorial at minute 31: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/the_ring/ Andrew shows how to create a lens flare to rotate around the circle, if that’s what you’re after?

As to the problem with the line. You could make that solid bigger. Or, keep the layer in the correct position (so it fills the whole comp) and just move the optical flare without moving the layer itself.

Do not move the layer on which the Flare is applied to- link the flare to a 3d Light and move the Light around in 3d space.
