This blog post started to collect together in one place my light leaks and film burn style clips for you to download and use.
FOR ALL OF MY LIGHT LEAKS IN ONE PLACE - GO HERE.
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.
What's different about these?
I use these kinds of clips a lot in my work. There are a lot of them online already so I've tried to do something different. Firstly, I've tried to have a slower, more elegant style to these. Secondly, I've made sure they are in the top HD ProRes quality. Thirdly, I've collected by style so you don't have to search through loads of clips to find the one you want. Lastly, there is no audio track for these clips - so when you drag them on your timeline you won't interfere with your audio.
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)
- Zipped together in batches of 6 or 7
I will add more over the next few weeks via blog posts - but will update this page also.
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?

Set 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.

Set 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.

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.

Set 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.
Set Five: Warm Sweep
The warm sweeps flow across the screen and add colour and texture to a clip. These are more suited to putting over the top of longer clips rather than over edits.
Set Six: Warm Pulses
The warm pulses fade in and out. Place over key points in your timeline to highlight them. They also work well sped up to 300 or 400% to create natural 'flashes'.
Set Seven: Pastel shades
The pastel shades are more suited to subtle shading of still images or as backfrops and backgrounds.
Set Eight: Colourful strobes and burn outs
These colourful pulses and flashes are ideal for fast paced, bright edits or music videos.
Set Nine: Cool 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. The cool colours are ideal for high-tech edits or to complement lens flares.
Set Ten: Cool wash
The cool colours wash across the screen. The cool colours are ideal for high-tech edits or to complement lens flares. The luminance range makes them ideal to be composited in the middle of clips.
Set Eleven: Cool light leaks
The cool colours leak across the screen - ideal for showreels, trailers and highlight reels, especially if you speed up 400%
Set Twelve: Film burn effect
The colours flare in and out - ideal for starting or ending a promo, especially if you speed up 400%
