“twinkle” effect on my own graphics
I am making an animation, set in space. I have drawn out some graphics of stars, and I wondered if there was a quick way to animate them all to twinkle. As there are so many it would be a pain (and strain on the PC) to animate them individually. I have tried overlaying different effects, with varying degrees of success, but none look right. What can I do?
Thanks

Create an adjustment layer above the stars and apply the glow effect and set it to taste. Then add a solid above the glow layer and add fractal noise to it. Set the adjustment layer to luma matte. Adjust the fractal noise layer, with brightness contrast, scale…then animate the evolution of the fractal noise. That should give you twinkling stars.

It’s rendering now! It seems to be working, I’ll need to play around with the settings a bit more but thank you! 🙂

If you can use/afford plugins, Trapcodes’ Starglow has some built in shimmer glimmer controls that will go along way to creating a twinkle effect.
