i love your tutorials man, this is way better than any other lens flare tutorials 4 years later!

OMG! I just started learning after effects for a week. I saw your video and I decided to accept this challenge. LOL Your 8 min tutorial took me like 3 hours to make a lens flare! English is not even my native language so I had to play it like thousand times but at the end I made it! I managed to make my own lens flare! Ready to be used for the next after effects challenge! Thanks man! You must been good, otherwise I would have never made it!😄

dude, you dont know how helpful (and shorts, thanks too) these videos have been for my job, thanks man

You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a tutorial like this , thanks a million

I feel the same

I have been looking for this forever. Thank you Sonduck!

Thank you for sharing this video! This is exactly what I was looking for for a video I'm working on. I'm looking forward to learning more from you.

Wow. Well done on speed, and the amount of clear and useful information.

Definitely a helpful tutorial. One thing I noticed that also happened to you. When linking the whip to the position in the null layer, your angled flares matched the position exactly. This meant the angled flares disappeared instead of staying where they were. To combat that, you'll need an offset at the end of the transform position text. "-[50,100] (Play around with the numbers until you are happy with the offset distance.)

Thanks this helped a lot

Thank you for the upload! Great tutorial and easy to follow. I had an issue with the center of the lens flare separating from the other streaks when paired to the position of the null and moved around. One fix I found was also parenting the anchor point of the lens flare to the null object :)

This is more than small tutoral. This is awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing

Hey, awesome tutorial! Thanks for putting this together!

This channel is amazing. It's helped me out tons!

that was an amazing trick tutorial!! very useful!! great explanation clear and fast! 10/10!

Thank you. This helped me out a bunch!

Great tutorial dude! Thanks a lot!

Very helpful, learned a lot.

good tuto, thanks and subscribed!

awesome tutorial..Thanks mate!!

This was awesome, exactly what I was after. I had to replay some bits as it's been a year or two since I've used AE - I didn't hear you saying Alt-click the stop watches, so I was like whyyy can't I attached the positioning - and then ofcourse when I figured that out I was attached the streak position to the Null object itself, as opposed to its position... But I made it in the end - thanks!

thanks for the tutorial my dude, it really helped! but how can i do it without the black background so i can use it in other projects?

this is great! thank you!

nice man! thanks for shared this things.

bro, you're a LEGEND! #subbed

Good creative solution. I like the caffeinated pacing of this. Too many vids get bogged down in going over too many details, too many pauses.

hey bro can u bring a tutorial of creating glow particles ? (sorry my english)

thank you so much !

Hi can you assign opticalfx to sphere in maya 3d ? Or can lensflare effect in max and optical fx in maya 3d make a realstic stars like games (elite dangerous or starsctizen)?

You are so creative

I'm an AE newbie but want to learn how to do this. Any chance you might have a step by step transcript to create the lens flare? (which is very cool by the way!).

Tnx!! ✌️🌟💟

I was doing this, but once I got to the first streak, my lens flare disappeared. The layer is showing by the way.

you have one to do the effect on your intro ( the bright blurred dots ) ?

YOU ARE AMAZING! THANKS FOR FREE TU|TORIALS

How do i make the Lens flares interact with the Texts, i mean if one the letters is in front of the flare it should block the light.. any idea

thank you :D

Nice tutorial :) thanks so much. But i still have a problem, if i need to put a photo and then add this flare, i get the black and i cannot see the photo, how can i do this? Thanks so much for the video :)

thank you

Brilliant! Liked that I not only learned the effect but how to tweek pickwhipped items. You rock!

That's great and all but how do you use this for anything? I can't overlay this lens flare on anything because it's attached to a gigantic black rectangle

WHOA... SLOW DOWN THERE, GONZALES! Extremely helpful tutorial, but my goodness do you go through it fast. I lost count of the number of times I had to pause, rewind, and start again.

Unfortunately, this is kind of his trademark. At least with his older stuff. Great stuff but yeah, you need to rewind over and over to get down what he's doing. Sometimes he will create a layer, and then edits out the part where he deletes the layer lol.

i want this but not ona black background how can i make my original solid layer, opacity like .1% so i can see my original video? with lens flare on top. Thanks 4 vid this is sweet

Question, i need help here, i just looked at your video and managed to create a simple light effect just like you did, i didn't do the whole thing, i just wanted a simple light effect, HOW DO I ADD IT TO MY VIDEO? PLEASE RESPOND

I cant do a pick whip with flare center to null because my AE is not up to date, what do i do? plz helps :0 nvm (alt click) Im dummy :P

excellent

When I move my flare down there's a defined line where the glow disappears instead of fully fading out. How do you fix that?

How I can make that transparent? So the black Backbround isn't there?

Thanks so much young man!!! Now I will not skip anymore.. normally my work does not look nice because I don't have that plug in .. now I can show off a little bit . Great work please keep it going... 👍

how do I make it transparent because the solid is blocking the video

I was hopping you'd show how to use this up on another comp as this AF effect has no transparence option...

Nevermind my last question, I figured out a way to transport a screen from AE into Premiere without a plugin and have it work in Premiere. Thanks for the helpful video though.

A.E. 2017 does not have the ability to edit the Anchor Point (Node). The Twirl down doesnt show it. Strange. Right click. Nothing

Question: Once you have the flare, do turn it into a screen layer so the black goes away? How about if you want to make it a template and import the template into something like Premiere. How would you get rid of the black, would you screen it in Premiere?

Can I export a job that uses LENS FLARES with a transparent background, and how do I do that?

I learned so much besides Lens Flares :v

Tks Pro (y)

When I do these exact steps it does not change the color of my flare, it changes the color of the black background. Why is that?

Great tutorial!, Explanation, ease of process are all great, but maybe slow down, just a bit....

Download link is dead! :(

It doesn't even let me add a new layer. Everything is greyd out.

its crt and drag to create that shape at 2:19 for me that worked

greatttt

Hi Sonduck! Thanks heaps for your tutorial! It is true, hahah you talk fast but I honestly prefer mych more you than the guys that talk slowly. Anyway, when I create the lens flare effect it comes with a black background, is there any wa to take it off? I used the blending mode but I'd like to preserve the quality of the flare. Thank you for these tutorials!

@moonofnanites9514

Render the comp using a codec that allows you to render RGB + the Alpha channel. The easiest way I've found is by using the QuickTime format in Media Encoder, then selecting the "Animation" codec and making sure that "8-bpc + alpha" is selected. Note that this requires you to actually have no background in your comp. Click the "Toggle Transparency Grid" button below the composition viewer (looks like a checkerboard) to do so. If you see a transparency grid, you're good to go

Try changing the layer mode to "screen"

Is there a way to do it so that the flare has an alpha channel and not have to use a blending mode?

This is an advanced tutorial for someone who already knows the basics of after effects. I agree with others in that it went way too fast, and a lot was assumed. Fortunately, I googled the areas that you skipped over to get to where I needed. Still, glad you make this videos...just wish you would slow down a little so that more of us can benefit. Thanks.

Going too fast in some part. Hard to follow,

am i the only one who get two girls on cup senses at the intro
