New Year, new 4k light leaks!

Last year I did a lot of HD light leaks and film burns and lens flare clips you could download for free. This year there are new ones - but now in 4K or UltraHD resolution.

Here is the first one. The rest will all be collected on a special page, so bookmark it.




These fade up from black making them ideal to be used to transition from one clip to the next in your edit timeline. 8 in total in this one download.

If you are using these clips for a commercial project with a budget then get in touch. I make the leaks free for non-commercial use (short films etc).

If you want to do me a favour anyway - that would be great too. Cheers. A few suggestions.

Free to download - HD Plasma style background, blurred sea waves

This HD backdrop texture can be used as either a background for titles, or as a component to layer over other footage. It is constantly moving and morphing and makes a great alpha channel. Feel free of course to change the hue or gamma to suit. In reality this is a shot of waves breaking, shot at 50% speed.

Real lens flare wipe - free HD download

A real light edge wipe, made by passing light through inch-thick glass. You can use it by compositing over your own wipes / transitions. There are several wipes in this one clip. Some go from white to white, some from black to white - this gives you the maximum flexibility in terms of using it with alpha effects. For even more options you can flip it, reverse it, mirror it etc.

Arctic glass abstract backdrop - a tripping curving light leak - to download

The first two of these was very popular so here is a third kind - not for wipes, but to use as a backdrop. As before 3 things made up this light leak to create something so intricate.

1 - the sun from the Arctic Circle
2 - a copper parabolic dish
3 - handmade glass shape over the front of the camera, no lens.

The result - a dancing spiral light leak. It has a look of sub-atomic particle trails or plasma. Ideal as a background / backdrop / composite over titles or footage OR speed up for a crazy wipe!
