Free lens flare transitions, HD




Next in the free download set...

This multi-element flare was made for when you need colour, detail, range and an organic / analogue feel to a lens flare. Great for compositing over shots and transitions you can speed it up for another great look. I've used the slowest original speed here so you can ramp up the speeds and do what you like. Another tip is to recolour them, to blue for example. There are 3 in this set. They were filmed with a plastic lens, hence the very grungy feel to them.

If you are super kind and get something out of using these then please donate a small amount and I can do some more -

Free Lens Flare clips to download, in HD

After the success of the light leak downloads I thought I'd do something similar, but with a different look to it. So I present my lens flares and crystals clips for you to download and use.

What are these?
These are short high definition clips for use by editors and compositors. They work with any editing package as they are just video clips. So use them in Final Cut, Premiere, Sony Vegas - 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.

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 where possible. If I have to compress I've used as little compression as possible.

There are a few variations in each clip, so chop them up, speed them up, reverse them - whatever you like. I've uploaded them at standard speed to give you the most options in your edit as possible. I will add more over the next few weeks via blog posts - but will update this page also.

Are they free?
Yes, free to use and download etc. If you want to do me a favour - that would be great. Cheers. A few suggestions.



Clip One: Light facets



These bursts of light pan across the screen, spankling as they go. Created by effectively using a glass crystal as a lens directly on the camera, they offer blinding light, mixed with refracting spectrums. There are 8 versions in this one clip. One even 'maxes out' to white making it ideal to use as a transition or dissolve. To keep under a 200MB limit I had to compress this as the highest possible quality H264.

Clip Two: Multi-faceted flares



This multi-element flare was made for when you need colour, detail, range and an organic / analogue feel to a lens flare. Great for compositing over shots and transitions you can speed it up for another great look. I've used the slowest original speed here so you can ramp up the speeds and do what you like.

Film burn style - free HD downloads part 12




These multi-layered film-burn style clips are the last of the uploads for now. Who knows, I may do more if I feel there is an angle or technique still needed. If you feel so, let me know.

These are classic phasing / bursts of colour and light. Handy as there are but sped up to 400% they are more suited for energetic promos.


This set is part of a whole collection of light leaks, flares, film burns, wipes and glows. The whole collection is available here: http://projectorfilms.blogspot.co.uk/p/free-hd-downloads.html

This particular set of 6 clips (1080p ProRes) can be downloaded here (113MB)

Cool light leaks - free HD downloads part 11




These cool coloured light leaks are some of my favourites to use when editing up trailers and highlight reels. They work well at their natural speed - but sped up to 400% they look better and more organic than the 'dip to colour' effects of most edit suites. 

This set is a bit of a random collection - but again, I think that is why it is my favourite as there is variety. Plus, these can complement the other 'cool' effects I've uploaded previously.

If you don't know, this is part 11 in a whole collection of light leaks, flares, film burns, wipes and glows. The whole collection is available here: http://projectorfilms.blogspot.co.uk/p/free-hd-downloads.html

Cool Wash - part 10 - free HD compositing download kit




Cool tones, that sweep from blues to greens and yellows. These are for use when compositing in your favourite editing software or in After Effects. Similar to film burns and light leaks - but more suited to lens flare colouring and for hi tech modern composites. Can be used in Premiere, Final Cut Pro or any editing package that can use Quicktime.


If you don't know, this is part 10 of a whole collection of light leaks, flares, film burns, wipes and glows. The whole collection is available here: http://projectorfilms.blogspot.co.uk/p/free-hd-downloads.html

Cool blue wipes - free download set 9




These light leaks use cool tones of blues to greeny / yellows.  I find they work well with hi-tech / matrix style compositions and the cyan tint compliments lens flares.

They can all be used as wipes to move from one image to the next. Best way to use them is to place then over a wipe using the 'screen' option of the composition / layering tools.

Editor's download kit - part 8 - crazy colour burn out and flares



This set of HD ProRes downloads are a bit different. They are all super crazy colourful, but vary in pace and style. I can see them being most useful for fast paced edits and for music videos - but of course, use them as you see fit.

Some are bright fast colour (or color if you are from US) flashes, almost strobing. Others are pulsing. Some almost burn out and flare. But all feature a variety of high saturation / chrominance.


As with my other sets, they are all 1080p HD and in ProRes format for the highest quality.


I've collected all of my free video clips on one page here, for ease of downloading.
