Pulsing Lens Flare

This is a twitching lens flare, a compliment clip to the multi-element flare. Sometimes, for example, compositing over titles, you don't want a moving flare. You want a static one. A totally static image can be got via a freeze-frame - but that's the same. A little movement is good. Hence this clip.

You can download it in 1080p HD format from here:

I had to use h264 (but with the best quality it goes) to make it less than 200MB.

Classic lens flare sweep as HD download

This is a classic lens flare sweep, using a standard glass lens. As with a lot of my light leaks, they work better when sped up, but I present them at the original slow speed to give you the most options. The clip ends with a nice rainbow pattern that I captured as a bit of a bonus.

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.

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. Another tip is to recolour them, to blue for example. There are 3 in this set.

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.

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.
