More info:
Automatic Duck is now free! Go here to pick up the plug-ins: https://74.220.215.54/~automay5/
From Wes and Harry:
October 28, 2011
If you missed our mail last month you should check it out as it got a lot of people talking. Today we have a follow-up.
Our web site has relaunched* and while the overall look of the site is similar there is a dramatic difference in how we are distributing our plug-ins.
Starting today Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP and Pro Export FCP (both versions, for FCP7 and FCPX) are available at no charge. You read this right. Free.
We are unable to provide support at the same level as we have over the years, but we didn’t want these plug-ins to go away while they remain useful. So if you can make use of these plug-ins in your projects, enjoy!
Thank you to all of our users, working with you for the last 10 1/2 years was a truly wonderful experience.

Have you tried this?
Stack two copies of the clip on V1 and V2
For the V2 clip apply a Gaussian Blur effect.
For the V2 clip, change the Blend mode to Lighten or another in that category.
Adjust to taste.
You might also want to put a vignette on the composite, so nest the clips and apply a vignette effect. Some techniques are here: https://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/Color-Correction-3_Vignette-Techniques/1Unfortunately, you cannot have “twinkles” on the background alone unless you have shot the talent against a blue/green screen or you rotoscope (mask) the talent which is a tedious and lengthy process.
You can brighten up an area in a scene by first isolating the area with a track matte effect, applying a Color Correction Effect and then adjusting the Levels parameter to brighten just that area.
More on that here, Track Matte: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSD5DF3869-526C-4888-9F89-D37F5D8E325Aa.html

Usually I do that before adding clips to the timeline with Automate to Sequence: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7d1ba.html

I disagree. Premiere Pro is not flaky. It’s solid, reliable and just works. 😉

We recommend 4GB installed per core (counting virtual cores from hyperthreading). Hope that helps.
