    Burned/overexposed film effect. When I was in the one-room editing schoolhouse, this was stuff we were supposed to remove from programs, now it is “artistic”.

    So how do you achieve this?

    I have created similar transitions using a clip from Motion’s Particle Images called Lighting Flares 1.mov.
    In Motion the clip is Blue but you can easily change its hue to whatever you like using the HSV Adjust Filter.
    Use the Composite Mode “SCREEN” to remove the blacks from the clip.

    Good Luck

    I really don’t like these when they are unmotivated. Though it is hard to find an honest motivation for one in context, either. You would typically use these to imply a very ragged and raw quality to footage, or in some montages, to represent a discontinuity in time instead of a dissolve, because what that burn represented in real life was the over-exposed end of one short reel of film, spliced directly to the end of the next reel.

    Have to agree with Mark.

    IMHO
    The light leaks fad was old and tired 3 years ago. Hard to believe there is anyone living where there is electricity that hasn’t seen these before. They are more overused than flying in a shot with a DVE was in the 80’s.
