Light leak look

[Eric Grush]

One of the best ways I use to create lightleaks and other old or damaged film effects is to overlay footage of actual damaged film. This creates a much more realistic looking effect than utilizing many plug-ins or filters. I was able to get film damage footage in DV resolution for free by searching the web. G film also has a nice set of plug-ins that create other types of film damage, but for lightleaks, roll-outs and other effects of that sort I would go with compositing actual footage.

Good luck.

Sure…this is doable. But the built in effects and bought ones can’t quite do it justice. Artbeats.com has light leaks and film effects just for this purpose. And I recently completed a tutorial for them on the subject…how to use the light leaks and film effects in Avid and FCP.

I use https://www.istockphoto.com for this kind of thing. They have a pretty big library of light leaks and film looks. You have to pay per clip though.

magic Bullet Looks has a feature similar to that

Go to cinegrain.com.

It’s the best option I’ve seen for this, and it’s not per clip. The indie bundle it a steal when you compare it to artbeats.

Cheers,

I think https://www.luxuryleaks.com/ offers a really professional looking light leak package. They give you a ton of them too.

It might be easier to download those instead of making them yourself.
