HD Leaks

This page will collect together in one place my HD light leaks and film burn style clips for you to download and use. You can see my 4K leaks in other pages. Or just browse at the top of the page.

What are these?
These are short high definition clips for use by editors and compositors. They work with any editing package - however I am delivering them as Quicktimes. By layering them over your images, using a compositing style such as 'screen' you add colour and interest - reminiscent of old style film effects.

How do I get them?
For each collection I've put up a sample via youtube. There is then a file to download.

• 1080p HD
• ProRes format (Movs) if I can, or mp4 if otherwise the file is too big
• Zipped together in batches of 6 or 7 OR as a single video file with a few clips back to back

How did you do them?
I took the lens off of my camera and added various glass objects to the front instead - then combined that with lamps and light sources.

Are they free?

One: Warm Light Leaks - for using as wipes.

These fade up from black to pure white making them ideal to be used to transition from one clip to the next in your edit timeline.

Two: Warm, Shuttering Light Leaks - for using as wipes.
 These beautiful light leaks are like pulses of light moving across the screen. Similar to lens flare / film burn effects. These are also suitable to be used as wipes, if composited over the two images as I have ensured the brightness levels max out as they pass across the screen. Composite using the 'screen' style for best effect. There are 9 clips in the set.

Three: Multi-coloured sparkles

This sparkle backdrop can be used either as a background for titles or used to composite over other footage, to give it a shine. The colours in this are really rich so they will shine through into the final edit. This is a single 1080p ProRes HD MOV clip to download.

Four: Warm Exposures The warm exposures are a softer gentler kind of effect. These are more suited to putting over the top of longer clips rather than over edits.

Thirteen: angular light leak

This is a slightly different kind of light leak. It's angular in nature due to the glass prism used in place of a lens during the filming. I was finding that I was often using the light leaks as an alpha channel to add moving interest to a backdrop - or as a wipe. Yet I was missing something with lines and angle, hence this clip.

Fourteen: Classic film style corner leak

These have a corner effect to help use as a wipe. maxing out to white - so ideal for compositions. They are in the style what you used to get on an old super 8 mm cine camera or 16mm film. With rotation / mirroring it can be any corner of course.
