What it does

Lens flares for Final Cut Pro

Start from one of over 50 ready-to-go presets, then shape every part of the flare: the main flare, a rainbow-like halo, horizontal light streaks and extra artifacts for added realism.

Drag the on-screen control in the viewer to place the flare, and keyframe it to follow the light. Rendering is optimized for speed.

  • Preset looks: over 50 beautiful, ready-to-go flares to start from.
  • Light streaks: single and double horizontal streaks, with streak artifacts for realism.
  • Halo and artifacts: a rainbow-like halo, plus artifacts with depth controls.
  • On-screen positioning: drag the flare in the viewer, and keyframe it if the light moves.
  • Fast rendering: optimized for quick render speeds.
