Sparkle or glittery effect…
Posted by Daniel Elder on July 25, 2006 at 4:04 pmI am trying to make a convinceing sparkle, glimmer for a product, and want to know what the best technique to use, would it trapcode particular or a standard plugin for AE 7? What settings should I try using for whichever plugin I would use? Thanks

July 25, 2006 at 4:49 pmI don’t think you’re being clear enough. What do you mean sparkle? Lense flair? Glow?
Try to find something to compare it to. -

July 25, 2006 at 6:21 pmI am looking for a sparkle that would make a product glow, it would be very simple, a few stars, no movement, just an adjustment of the brightness at a random, and has a very shiney kind of situation. I don’t know how best to describe it, but it would be something like “The Fablous life of the Rich and Famous” something more like a glitter. That just highlights the product. Does that help at all?

Add the psd to your comp and keyframe the scale from zero to whatever size you want then back down to zero. At the same time, keyframe the rotation from zero to, say, 180.
So, you should have 3 keyframes for the scale, and 2 for the rotation.
Easy.
Good luck!
