How do you achieve this EFFECT?!

[Barend Onneweer]

It’s called light leak – usually achieved by overlaying footage of light leakage (if you opened the can of exposed film before it was developed) on top of the video.

Artbeats has light leak stock footage, but if you take a close look you might get reasonably close playing around with colored solids and animated masks.

Thanks so much! I knew it was achieved by some type of overexposed method, but with digital film it’s a lot different. Thanks again for the help/advice.

I find the Light parameter in Shatter pretty awesome for such effects. Unlike Levels (keyframed and applied to an Adjustment Layer), which is another popular method, Shatter’s Light property has color AND direction. The direction property makes the effect so much more effective.

Of course you will want to switch off Shatter’s primary properties so that shattering doesn’t occur.

BTW, welcome back Barend!
