Light beam/rays? That you find in music videos alot?

[David Johnson]

Similar to what Dave said, I don’t see anything in that image I would call light beams or rays … looks like either fire or a blob with a white Glow filter over it. Perhaps post a better example or description of what you’re talking about … not everyone watches lots of music videos.

I searched for the original video to see what the motion was like, and it looks a lot like ink. Digital Juice has a product called Compositor’s Toolkit with an “Ink Chamber” category with that type of element: https://www.digitaljuice.com/products/products.asp?pid=760.

Hope this helps!

Sorry about that guys! Wrong picture. Granted, it’s created in 3dsmax, but you get the same idea. I see it all over music videos D: Always wondered about it…

The lens flare? AE comes with a basic version, but you can find some excellent plug-ins such as Video Copilot’s Optical Flares or Knoll Light Factory for higher quality.
